Elongatum, convexum, obscure viridi-aeneum, nitidum, abdomine flavo, antennis ( bast 

 exceptis ) nigris ; thorace transverso, minute, subremote punctato ; elytris oblongis, infra 

 basin transversim excavatis, tenuiter punctatis. 



Long. 4 lin. 



Head trigonate ; vertex and front smooth, impunctate, the latter separated from the 

 encarpse by a deep groove; encarpse transverse, contiguous above, separated below by the 

 narrow wedge-shaped carina, the surface of which is coarsely punctured ; antennae more than 

 half the length of the body, moderately robust, filiform, the second joint short, the third 

 twice the length of the second, the fourth about one-third longer than the preceding one. 

 Thorax about one-half as broad again as long ; sides moderately rounded, the anterior angles 

 armed with an obtuse tubercle, the hinder ones acute ; disc moderately convex, finely but 

 rather distantly punctured ; lateral margin reflexed. Scutellum smooth, impunctate. Elytra 

 much broader than the thorax, oblong, convex, transversely excavated below the basilar 

 space, the latter slightly elevated ; surface finely but not very closely punctured, very spar- 

 ingly clothed with short hairs : on the apical half of each elytron is a number of broad, 

 ill-defined, longitudinal sulcations. Abdomen flavous, the apex of the terminal segment 

 emarginate.
