Pale yellow, with a golden or golden-green suffusion, the head 

 and a longitudinal patch on each side of the pronotum (angulated 

 externally and not attaining the front or hind margin) dark 

 green . 



It is ovate, much narrowed in front and behind, and not very con- 

 vex. The head is very deeply and rugosely 

 punctured, the clypeus small and rounded, 

 and the frontal suture almost obliterated. 

 The pronotum is coarsely but sparsely punc- 

 tured at the sides and almost smooth in the 

 middle ; the sides are strongly angulated in 

 the middle and nearly straight from there 

 to the front and hind angles, which are 

 sharp, the base being broadly rounded in the 

 middle and not margined. The scutelluin 

 is smooth and sharply pointed. The elytra 

 are coarsely and deeply striate-punctate. 

 The pygidium is coarsely rugose and bears
