5 . Light metallic green, the thorax and abdomen where the 

 surface is rubbed coppery, antennae brown, the scape and basal 

 joint of the flagellum above green, legs green, tarsi brownish 

 yellow ; head, thorax (the postscutellum excepted) and abdomen 

 minutely and very densely punctured ; on the head and thorax 

 the punctures run into reticulations giving a finely granulate 

 appearance to those parts, on the abdomen they are distinct, not 

 granulate ; postscutellum with large shallow and serried punctures, 

 a few similar punctures mixed with the finer ones on the scutellurn 

 and mesonotum posteriorly ; facial cavity minutely punctured like 

 the rest of the head ; pilosity brownish yellow, long, soft and 

 abundant on the head and thorax, almost entirely wanting on the 

 abdomen. Head broad, broader than the thorax, much broader 

 than long, strongly constricted anteriorly, occiput transverse, 

 vertex and front broad, convex ; facial cavity nearly obsolete, the 

 face merely slightly depressed inwards towards a short medial 

 longitudinally impressed line ; antenna short, slender, 3rd joint 

 of the flagellum the longest ; clypeus slightly emarginate anteriorly ; 

 eyes very large and prominent. Thorax short and broad : the pro- 

 notum short, transverse, medially impressed in front, the sides 

 convergent anteriorly, propleuras slightly hollow, the mesonotum 

 nearly flat, the scutellum and postscutellum convex, with a some- 

 what steep slope posteriorly ; mesopleura? strongly convex, the 

 apex not acute, rounded, excavate, smooth and margined by a sharp 

 carina ; produced posterior lateral angles of the median segment 

 small, very narrow, curved and acute at apex; wings hyaline, 

 nervures light brown, tegula? green. Abdomen proportionately 

 very broad at base, very convex above, the sides very convergent 



Cteriorly, the apical margin entire, narrowly rounded, the extreme
