2 . The face and head in front, the pronotutn, the lateral areas 

 of the mesonotum, the mesopleurae, the legs, the disc of the 1st 

 abdominal segment, the apical margins of the 2nd and of the 

 basal area of the 3rd segment, light metallic green ; the head 

 posteriorly, the prothorax in front, two crescentric marks on the 

 disc of the pronotum, the propleuraa, the median area of the meso- 

 notum, the median segment, the basal face of the 1st abdominal 

 segment and the basal portions broadly of the 2nd and 3rd seg- 

 ments, deep metallic blue ; the medial portion broadly of the 

 scutellum cupreous red, and of the postscutellum cupreous red 

 bordered posteriorly with golden, the sides of the 1st abdominal 

 segment also cupreous red bordered with golden ; head, thorax 

 and abdomen very densely and finely punctured, granulate on the 

 head and thorax, the punctures more shallow on the abdomen, on 

 the scutellum and postscutellum they are slightly larger but not 

 coarse as in many species ; facial hollow minutely punctate, 

 rugulose, towards the upper margin slightly more coarsely punc- 

 tured, reticulate ; pilosity brownish, very short and somewhat 

 sparse ; the facial hollow without the usual long whitish pubescence. 

 Head flat, transverse, as broad as the pronotum but not quite so 

 long; clypeus broad, convex, and slightly incised in the middle 

 anteriorly ; facial hollow rather shallow, margined above by a 

 . .-shaped carina ; front and vertex broad, convex, the occiput 

 transverse ; the sides of the head behind the eyes broad ; antennas 

 as in G. gujaratica. Thorax: the pronotum long, transversely 

 rectangular, the sides very slightly convergent anteriorly ; pro- 

 pleurae excavate ; mesonotum and scutellum gentlv convex, the 

 median area on the me*onotum rather narrow, a little more than 

 twice as long as broad ; mesopleurae flat, with the anterior and 

 apical portions slightly depressed, the former bounded by an oblique 

 farina posteriorly ; postscutellum very convex ; median segment 

 with a wide semicircular depression on its posterior face, formed 

 by foveae divided by cariuae; posterior lateral angles produced, 

 and somewhat short and thick ; wings hyaline, slightly fuscous ; 

 nervures brown, tegulae purple ; legs stout and long. Abdomen 

 as long as the head and thorax united, subcylindrical, the base 

 concave ; the 2nd and 3rd segments medially obsoletely carinate ; 

 the auteapical series of foveae on the latter small, not very distinct : 

 apical margin of segment roundly arched, entire, and without 

 teeth.
