lateribus sat longe hirsutis ; processu mesosternali modice elon- 

 gato, compresso, haud acuto. 



Brilliant golden-yellow, with crimson and greenish reflec- 

 tions, the head (except the clypeus), pygidium (except the 

 posterior halt), ar.d lower surface dark metallic green, and 

 the legs golden, with the hind tarsi black. 



The body is rather short and rhornboidal in shape and not 

 very convex. The clypeus is short, nearly straight in front 

 and closely punctured, and the forehead is strongly and not 

 very closely punctured. The pronotum is distinctly but not 

 closely punctured at the sides, very lightly in the middle, and 

 the angles are well marked, the front ones acute, the hind 

 slightly obtuse, the sides scarcely rounded but angulated 

 before the middle. The scutellum bears a few minute punc- 

 tures. The elytra have each five deep punctured dorsal 

 striae. The interstices are convex, but the second and fourth 

 are a little depressed and the former bears a few large punc- 

 tures anteriorly. The pygidium is rather coarsely trans- 

 versely strigose and bears two patches of pale hairs at the 

 base. The sternum is clothed with rather Ions: decumbent 

 hairs and each ventral segment has a row of similar hairs at 

 the side. The mesosternal process is compressed, rounded at 

 the extremity, and moderately long. All the tibiae and the 

 hind tarsi are short and thick in botli sexes. 



J . The front tibiae are very broad and the two teeth 

 short. 



Length 9\5— 11 mm.; breadth 6-6"5 mm.
