tlio point bilid and piiriile ; the basal [»art is keeled in the 

 niiddlf. ^iandiblcs j)urj)li.sh black. Pronotum broader than 

 lon^, ronndly convex aljove, coarsely and closely punctured. 

 'J'iie sides of the ine.sonotuni strongly but not closely 

 punctured ; the base with the punctures more widely sepa- 

 rated ; the apex smootii. Scutelluni smooth and marke 1 all 

 over with widely-separated punctures ; the postscutcllu'U 

 closely and finely punctured, its central part with large deep 

 punctures. There arc only two central keels in the middle 

 of the median segment ; they form almost a triangle, the 

 space enclosed by them is obli([uely striated on either side at 

 the base ; the aj)ex transversely striated ; the rest is more 

 finely transversely striated ; the keel bordering the aj)ex in 

 the middle is slightly dilated; the middle of the dilatiitioii 

 transverse, its sides oblique ; the apex of the segment above 

 reticulated ; the keels on the lower part not forming distinct 

 area?, being widely waved. The ]iart of the propleur;\3 ab^ve 

 the keel has large scattered punctures all over; the lower 

 part has a few punctures on the base ; the ajiex on the lower 

 side has some stout, oblique, irregular keels. Mesopleuraj 

 with large, deep, distinctly separated punctures ; metiipleune 

 reticulated in the middle, at the base and apex are a few 

 curved irregular keels. The cox;e are green ; the four 

 ])Osterior femora rufous, the anterior black, blue behind ; 

 the tibiffi on the inner side dull rufous ; the i)ad on tiie pen- 

 ultimate tarsal joint does not reach to the middle of the next 

 joint ; the claws are bitid, the joints of almost equal length. 

 The first transverse cubital nervure is obliterated entirely ; 

 the second is interstitial, with the apex of the nervure 

 bounding the apex of the radial cellule ; the first recurrent 

 nervure is received in the middle, the second in front of the 

 basal third of the cellule. Abdomen shorter than the thorax ; 

 above bright purplish blue ; the apical segment dark green ; 

 the narrowed part of the petiole is not quite so long as the 

 dilated apex and is black in colour; the ajK'X of the petiole 

 and the second segment sparsely punctured, the punctures 

 small and shallow, longer and deeper on the apex of the 

 second segment ; the second segment is longer than usual, 

 more than twice longer than broad ; the third segment is 

 deeply and largely punctured, the base in the middle smooth ; 

 the apex keeled in the middle ; the apex all round has a 

 sharply raised bonier; above there arc only three segm^'uls 

 distinguishable, below oidy two.
