 tate like the head. Scutellum large, strongly punctured. Elytra 

 large, oblong, closely punctured, the punctures sligbtly larger 

 than those on the thorax, sides finely transversely strigose, base 

 obsoletely depressed; surface like that of the head and thorax 

 clothed with very short white pubescence, rather longer at the 

 sides ; some narrow elongate smooth lines are present or indicated 

 only on the disc. Body beneath metallic greenish or asneous, with 

 short but rather dense pubescence.

The original description of Lefevre is short and unsatisfactory, 

 the sex of the specimen described is not mentioned and the 

 antennas and legs are described as " testaceous," fulvous probably 

 being meant. The above description is from specimens in my 

 collection which I cannot refer to any other pubescent species. 

 Lefevre's type was of metallic green coloration, with narrow 

 thoracic and elytral cupreous margins. 



Species w ithout .pubescence ; leys generally fulvous or flavous.

 p. 95. 



Metallic green, sometimes bluish ; antennas and labrum fuscous ; 

 legs flavous, knees asneous. tarsi obscure fuscous.
