Head green, deeply punctured and narrowly sulcate 

 between the eyes, covered with very short black bristly 

 hairs. Thorax black, deeply punctured ; anterior and 

 lateral margins green, dorsal line, and a somewhat wide 

 line on each side, green, impressed, and very finely and 

 closely punctured. Elytra green, largely and rugosely 

 punctured, each with the suture, and four raised lines, 

 smooth and black ; sides posteriorly denticulate. Beneath 

 and legs, golden green, punctured, covered with short 

 whitish hairs.

Hab. W. Coast of Africa. 



Allied to Gamhiensis, L. & G., from which the sculpture 

 and shape of the thorax easily distinguish it.

 maculis minutis aureis notatis. Subtus aureo-viridis.

 has a narrow golden line running parallel to the margin. 

 Scutellum fiery copper colour. Elytra purplish, suture 

 green, each elytron with three small golden spots, one on 

 the first raised line near the base, the second, a very small

 third, also very small, between the first and the second 

 lines, the shoulders also have a greenish tint. Beneath 

 golden green. 



Head rugose in front, channelled on the vertex. Thorax
