Bright and shining, rich blue both above and below, the 

 elytra violet-blue. Head very faintly and sparingly punc- 

 tate ; thorax a little more strongly punctate, but still very 

 sparingly, a little more thickly in front, and almost im- 

 punctate on the posterior part of the disk ; posterior angles 

 nearly right-angled, basal lobe emarginate. Scutellum im- 

 punctate. Elytra sparingly and finely punctate, the punc- 

 tures arranged somewhat longitudinally ; shoulders rather 

 prominent, an iiTegular depression inside of them ; suture 

 depressed, and with a fine line along it, and denticulate at the 

 apex, about seven to nine denticuli fringing the rounded 

 apex of the elytra. Underside finely transversely rugose,

One specimen. 



Notwithstanding the great authority of Prof. Lacordaire, I 

 cannot bring myself to merge the old genus Chrysodema with 

 the typical Chalcophora^ and therefore still keep Palisot de 

 Beauvois's C. chrysochlora under the former genus.
