antennae pale fulvous, extending below the middle of the elytra, 

 the last two joints stained with fuscous at the apex, third and 

 fourth joints equal, following joints more elongate. Thorax about 

 twice as broad as long, the sides rounded at the base and somewhat 

 suddenly narrowed towards the apex ; the disc convex, remotely 

 and finely punctured with some still more minute punctures on 

 the interstices, the sides with a distinct reflexed margin. Scutel- 

 lum triangular, impunctate. Elytra very convex, closely impressed 

 with strong punctures which are arranged regularly close to the 

 suture and near the apex, but much more irregularly so over the 

 rest of the disc, they are much larger on the sides ; the interstices 

 nearly throughout transversely rugose, especially on the sides. 

 Legs fulvous ; the femora unarmed. 



Length 5| mm. 



Hab. Assam : Khasi Hills (Ooll. Jacoby). 



Principally distinguished by the nearly black underside and 

 the close and deep puncturation of the elytra and their rugose 

 interstices.

Beneath fulvous, above aeneous. 



cf . Head obscure fulvous, with a few very minute punctures 

 near the eyes ; clypeus not separated from the face, nearly 

 smooth ; antennae pale fulvous, extending beyond the middle of 

 the elytra, with a shorfc twelfth joint, third and following joints 

 slender, equal, terminal joints slightly shorter. Thorax rather 

 more than twice as broad as long, strongly narrowed in front, the 

 sides slightly rounded, the angles acute but not produced ; the 

 surface smooth, piceous, shining, very sparingly impressed with a 

 few minute punctures, the disc with a slight metallic greenish 

 gloss (sometimes absent). Elytra strongly punctured in c'osely 

 approximate rather regular rows which are doubled near the 

 suture but become single towards the apex where three or four 

 of the rows are distinct; at the sides the puncturation is more 

 irregular. Underside and legs fulvous ; the anterior femora dilated 

 into a strong tooth, the posterior femora armed with a smaller 

 tooth. 



$ . The tooth on the anterior femora beneath much smaller. 



Var. Above violaceous-blue.
