 antice tarsisque viridis, grosse profundeque punctata. Long. 

 17-18 mm. 



Coppery-brown, tinged Avitli green, shining, apex of clypeus, 

 knees, apex of tibia; and tarsi bright green, elytra with irregular 

 white marks and spots. 



Read short and broad, very closely and coarsely punctured, 

 the punctures confluent and forming striae at the sides, the 

 centre scarcely elevated ; clypeus broadest at the apex, trans- 

 versely impressed in front, the sides elevated, apical margin 

 strongly elevated and emarginate, forming two small obtuse 

 points. 



Thorax rather convex, regularly rounded at the sides, posterior 

 angles strongly rounded, the basal margin only slightly emar- 

 ginate above the scutellum, very closely and coarsely punctured, 

 a longitudinal central line smooth, sides coarsely strigose, the 

 disc with three distinct impressions on each side, usually marked 

 with a white spot. 



Scutellum triangular, apex obtuse, impunctate. 



Elytra rather flat with the usual depresciou behind, com- 

 mencing rather abruptly before the middle, very closely covered 

 with semicircular stria;, most of which contain a fine puncture, 

 at the sides and apex they become closer and more confused, 

 forming irregular wavy stria; intermixed with punctures, in the 

 region of the scutellum they are more sparse and assume the 

 form of coarse irregular punctures, the suti;re elevated posteriorly 

 but not produced at the apex. 



Pygidium convex, finely transversely strigose, Avith several 

 indistinct whitish spots. 



Beneath sparsely pubescent and closely strigose; mesosternal 

 process short, strongly dilated, apex truncate ; abdomen Avith 

 semicircular stria; at the sides and scattered punctures in the 

 middle ; legs coarsely strigose, the anterior tibia^ with three 

 obtuse teeth.

 segment of the abdomen very closely punctured, and a much 

 stronger tooth on the intermediate and posterior tibiae.
