Above beautiful light green. Head finely and delicately 

 rugose, having a deeply impressed pit on each side in front 

 near the base of the antennae ; three joints at the base of the 

 latter, together with the palpi testaceous, the rest of the antennae 

 pale dull brown and pubescent, the mandibles pitchy, the 

 labrurn testaceous. Thorax narrowest in front, the sides a 

 little rounded below the angles, then from about the middle to 

 the base straight, the posterior angles obtuse, disk with a 

 slender dorsal furrow, and on each side at the base an oblong 

 impression, the whole surface beautifully shagreened and adorned 

 with a golden pile ; scutellum sometimes yellowish. Elytra 

 oblong, not so much narrowed in front as in nigricornis, rather 

 obsoletely striated, the interstices finely granulated, the surface 

 thickly clothed with a golden pubescence and the whole exterior 

 margin testaceous yellow; beneath the thorax and breast are 

 greenish black, the abdomen dusky and the whole surface punc- 

 tured, legs testaceous. Length 5^ lines. 



The claim of this very conspicuous insect to admission into 

 our indigenous fauna rests upon very few examples at present, 

 and some of these are very dubious. Stephens has informed 

 us that it was captured by Dr. Leach, near Plymouth, in the 

 spring of 1816, and that it has been found near Bristol. The 

 Rev. H. Clark has a specimen in his collection, which was taken 

 at Matlock.
