scutellum bears a few flue i)iuictuie3. Tlie elytra are mode- 

 rately closely ami rei;uhuly j)uiieture(l in rows. The pygi- 

 dium is rather strongly but unequally punctured and thinly 

 clothed with long erect grey hairs. There is no niesosternal 

 process. 



I have seen only male examples, in whicli the antennal 

 club is very long, the tront tibia is strongly bidentate, and 

 the inner tront claw dilated, very acute, and minutely cleft at 

 the outer edge.

Coppery, with the pronotum and pygidium generally 

 darker and more green, their lateral margins, as well as the 

 luwer surface of the body and the femora, yellow, the tibias 

 and tarsi reddish brown. The head and clypeus are densely 

 and rugosely punctured, the latter broadly rounded in front. 

 The jironotum is evenly and moderately strongly punctured, 

 its sides are rounded, the angles distinct but not sharp, and 

 the base very gently trisinuate, with a margin defined in the 

 middle by irregular punctures but not by a stria. The 

 scutellum bears a few fine {junctures. The elytra are strongly 

 and closely punctured, most of the punctures forming longi- 

 tudinal rows, but with a broad sub.-utural space which is 

 irregularly punctured. The pygidium is microscopically 

 rugose. The metaslernum is densely punctured and tiiickly 

 clothed with tawny hair, and the abdomen is finely and 

 sparingly punctured, with a few setai only. The meso- 

 sternum is not produced. The front tibia is strongly bi- 

 dentate and the larger claw of the front and hind tarsi cleft. 



(J. The inner anterior claw is broad, sharply angulated 

 near the base, and acute at the tip.
