shoulder, another near the base and a third below the middle, 

 dark blue ; tibiae fulvous. 



Var. The basal spot connected with the humeral one. 



Length 2-3 lines. 



Of posteriorly narrowed shape , the head impunctate with a 

 band of pale fulvous pubescence in front of the eyes, the clypeus 

 finely punctured, labrum piceous, antennae scarcely extending 

 to the base of the thorax, fuscous, the lower four joints fulvous, 

 the fourth and following joints strongly serrate; thorax narrowed 

 in front, fulvous, the median lobe broadly rounded, the anterior 

 portion impunctate , the base with a transverse metallic blue 

 band not extending to the lateral margin and interrupted at 

 the middle by a raised smooth space of the fulvous ground 

 colour, terminating in a blunt protuberance, the basal blue band 

 rather strongly punctured at the sides; scutellum broad, metallic 

 blue, longitudinally carinate at the apex ; elytra rather strongly 

 narrowed posteriorly in the male, the basal lobe strongly pro- 

 duced at the sides, rather closely and strongly punctured, the 

 punctures much finer below the middle and arranged in indis- 

 tinct rows at the apex, a small spot at the shoulder , another 

 placed a little more inwards but sometimes connected with the

This species is much distinguished by the more or less strongly 

 raised middle portion of the thorax, although the elytral design
