larger claw of the froht and middle tarsi cleft. The antennf« 

 are rather long and the fifth joint equal in length to the two 

 preceding joints together. 



^ . Tlie club is as long as the remainder of the antenna 

 and the front tibial teeth are very short. 



$ . Tliebody is more elongate, the antennal club moderately 

 longi and the terminal tooth of the front tibia long and 

 clavate. 



Tliis rather resembles the Japanese A, lucens, Ball., and 

 some varieties of the European A. cenea, Deg., but it is 

 sharply distinguished from these, as from nearly all species 

 of the genus, by the length of the fifth joint of tlie 

 antenna. 



Length 13-18 mm.; breadth 8-9'5 mm.

Pale yellow, entirely suffused above and beneath with a 

 delicate rosy-green metallic lustre, sometimes with a large 

 vaguely reddish patch on each side of the pronotum, a small 

 brown spot near each lateral margin and two or three still 

 smaller on each side of the pygidium. 



It is a stout, oval, and highly convex species. The head 

 is rugosely punctured, with the clypeus semicircular and flat. 

 The pronotum is minutely and sparingly but rather deeply 

 punctured, with its sides obtusely angulated in the middle, 

 the front angles acute, the hind angles obtuse but well- 

 marked, andtbe base margined and gently trisinuated. The 

 scutellum is minutely punctured and the elytra strongly
