Hah. Cayenne. 



This species is quite unlike all the other species of the 

 genus known to me, and more resembles a Phanceus. It is 

 of a brilliant coppery colour, but in some lights has briglit 

 green reflexions. The elytra have the stria3 deep and rather 

 broad, impunctate, and of a brassy tint in some lights ; the 

 interstices are almost smooth, except towards the sides, where 

 they are more distinctly punctured. The posterior tarsi have 

 the basal joint a little more than twice as long as broad, sub- 

 ])arallel ; the second joint is very small, ab)ut one fifth the 

 length of tlie preceding ; and there is a minute point repre- 

 senting a third joint.
