$ . Metallic green, the space round the ocelli broadly, the front 

 of the prothorax, the mesonotum more or less, the middle of the 

 scutellum and of the postscutellum, the discs above of the 1st 

 and 2nd and the basal half of the 3rd abdominal segment blue, 

 antennae black, the scape and the basal two joints of the flagellum 

 above green, legs green, tarsi reddish brown ; head, thorax and 

 basal abdominal segment densely punctured, granulate, on the 

 lateral areas of the mesonotum the punctures are larger than on 

 the rest of the thorax and wider apart, the intervals minutely 

 punctured, the front of the mesonotum and the apical two abdo- 

 minal segments very finely punctured; facial cavity transversely 

 rugulose. Head thick, transverse, very much broader than long ; 

 facial cavity broad and deep, sharply margined above by a trans- 

 verse carina, giving off from either end carina3 closely bordering the 

 orbits of the eyes above, as far as a point level with the anterior 

 ocellus, then crossing the front, meeting and forming a loop 

 round the ocellus ; antennae proportionately rather thick, the 2nd 

 joint of the flagellum much longer than either the 1st or 3rd 

 joint ; front and vertex convex and very broad ; occiput trans- 

 verse. Thorax : the pronotum transversely rectangular, from above 

 the sides appear tuberculate immediately behind the anterior 

 lateral angles, auteriorly the pronotum is impressed in the middle 

 above ; propleurae excavate, mesonotum and scutellum convex ; 

 inesopleurse rugose, longitudinally grooved ; postscutellum rounded, 

 posterior lateral angles of the median segment broadly produced, 

 acute at apex ; wings hyaline, nervures light brown, tegulae purple ; 

 legs robust. Abdomen proportionate, broad and massive, the base 

 transverse, the sides of the 1st and 2nd segments parallel, sides 

 of the 3rd segment strongly convergent posteriorly, terminating 

 in an acute small tooth on each side, between which the apical 

 margin is slightly arched and entire ; the whole abdomen slightly 

 medially longitudinally carinate, the anteapical series on the 3rd 

 segment subobsolete.
