transverse and plane. The elytra are rounded at the apex, 

 and the sides are not abruptly vertical. The whole upper 

 surface is clothed with short, erect, dusky bristles. The colour 

 above is greyish tawny, with the following rounded black 

 spots — one in the middle of the forehead and one on the occi- 

 put, four in quadrangle on the disk of the thorax (besides one 

 on each flank), and four on each elytron, placed in a line from 

 the shoulder to near the apex, the apical one being much the 

 smallest. The under surface, legs, and antennae are black, 

 clothed with fine grey pile, the base of the third to the eleventh 

 joints (with the exception of the fifth) being grey.

Differs from the allied G. Swinhoei by the metallic-coloured 

 clothing of the body. In this respect it agrees with the East- 

 Siberian G. metallescens (Saperda id., Motsch.), from which 

 its large black markings conspicuously distinguish it. The 

 elytral spots are, on each side two large and angular, placed 

 in succession on the disk before the middle, and one de- 

 scribing nearly an oval between the middle and the apex ; the 

 shoulders and lateral carina? of the elytra are also black. The 

 elytra are briefly truncated at the apex, with a short tooth at 

 the external angle of the truncature. The apex of the tibia 

 is black, the tarsi above pale blue. The antenna? are black, 

 with the basal joints more or less marked with blue.
