metallic discoidal patch commences broadly at the base and gets 

 gradually narrowed towards the apex which it does not quite 

 reach, the pubescence of the elytra is stiff and arranged more 

 regularly near the apex ; in some specimens the apical joints of 

 the antennae are nearly black.

Metallic green ; the apical joints of the antennae and the tarsi 

 blackish ; legs fulvous. 



Head very closely and finely punctured, the interstices minutely 

 granulate, the vertex swollen, the middle with a longitudinal 

 groove, the anterior edge of the clypeus deeply concave emar- 

 ginate ; labrum fulvous ; antennae fulvous, extending to the base 

 of the elytra, the apical four or five joints black. Thorax trans- 

 verse, the middle distinctly swollen, the basal and apical portions 

 constricted, the surface transversely depressed near the anterior 

 margin, very closely and rather distinctly punctured. Scutellum 

 broad, transverse, its apex truncate, distinctly punctured at the 

 base. Elytra wider at the base than the thorax, the shoulders 

 prominent, the punctures arranged in ill-defined rows ; the 

 interstices finely transversely rugose and furnished with single 

 white hairs, arranged in rows. Legs fulvous ; the femora robust, 

 with a small tooth beneath, the posterior femora greenish-aeneous 

 at the apex, tarsi more or less black. Underside metallic green, 

 clothed with very short silvery pubescence. In the female the 

 thorax is, as usual, much less swollen and constricted at the base 

 and apex. 



Length 5 mm.

Closely allied to E. (Pseudocolaspis) indica, Baly, but differs in the 

 puncturation, in the longer thorax and in the entirely fulvous legs.

Dark bronze or cupreous ; palpi, tibiae, tarsi and the bases of 

 antennae reddish-brown. 



Head densely and strongly, in part confidently punctured ; 

 labrum piceous ; clypeus rather more distantly punctured ; 

 antennae not extending to base of thorax, last five joints black. 

 Thorax scarcely broader than long, appearing narrowed anteriorly 

 if seen from above ; surface densely reticulate and punctured. 

 Scutellum broad, subpentagonal, finely punctured. Elytra wider 

 at base than the thorax, narrowed towards the apex ; surface 

 rather depressed, more finely punctured than the thorax, punc-
