base of thorax, terminal five joints strongly transversely dilated. 

 Thorax almost as long as broad, subcyliudrical, rounded and 

 widened at the middle, entire surface extremely closely punctured 

 and finely strigose, sparingly clothed with grey pubescence. 

 Scutellum much broader than long, closely punctured. Elytra 

 much wider at base but only slightly longer than the thorax, of 

 similar sculpture and pubescence arranged in rows, shoulders 

 ridge-shaped. Legs fulvous with aeneous gloss. 



$ . Thorax not so long or wide, more narrowed in front. 



Length 3 mm.

 Belg. xl, 1896, p. 304. 



Metallic greenish-aeneous, pubescent; the basal joints of the 

 antennae and the legs more or less fulvous ; 

 thorax finely and closely punctured ; elytra 

 more strongly punctured, the sides and 

 apex pale fulvous, the base and suture 

 metallic greenish. 



Head closely punctured and slightly 

 rugose, aeneous ; the clypeus not separated 

 from the face, bounded laterally by a 

 narrow ridge ; antennae fulvous, extending 

 to the base of the thorax, the first and 

 second joints thickened, nearly equal, 

 terminal joints distinctly dilated, not longer 

 than broad. Thorax about as long as 

 broad, gradually widened at the middle, 

 the surface finely and not very closely punc- 

 tured, cupreous or aeneous, clothed with 

 grey pubescence. Scutellum subquadrate, 

 its apex truncate. Elytra wider at the 

 base than the thorax, more closely and 

 rathe'r more strongly punctured, the punctures arranged in 

 very closely approximate irregular rows, rather sparingly pubes-

 I am not acquainted with any species of this genus that 

 possesses similarly coloured elytra ; there are several specimens 

 before me which show no difference in this respect. lu all, the
