exception of the head (the throat alone has that colour), the 
. lateral portions of the prosternum, and the elytral epipleurae, 
these parts being brassy; the tip of the last ventral segment 
is pitchy ; the legs are reddish testaceous with the tip of the 
femora and the basal half of the tibiae metallic green, the tarsi 
pitchy, the claws paler. 
The head is very strongly but not very densely punctured , 
much finer so on the narrowed front portion. 
The prothorax quadrate, the sides slightly constricted in the 
middle, curved near the front angles which are not at all pro- 
minent, the front margin straight, the base bisinuate, the lateral 
angles acute, the median lobe broadly rounded; the upper sur- 
face not densely punctured, the punctures larger towards the 
sides, a smooth space in front of the scutellum, the scutellum 
itself transverse and impunctate. 
The elytra subparallel, elongate, the apices narrowly sub- 
truncate in an oblique direction, the outer angle broadly rounded; 
each elytron with ten regular striae of punctures which become 
larger towards the sides; the interstices become somewhat | costate 
towards the end, especially the 3" and 9". 
The underside of the head remotely covered in the middle 
with large and deep punctures, the throat impunctate ; the brassy 
lateral portions of the prosternum likewise covered with large 
and deep punctures, the median testaceous portion with fine 
transverse wrinkles, and a few punctures on the sides; the 
sides of the metasternum with a few distinct punctures; the 
elytral epipleurae impunctate; the abdomen sparsely and most 
finely punctured; the metallic portions of the legs with a few 
punctures. 
The last ventral segment is without impression, and truncate 
in a straight line posteriorly; the anterior tibiae are curved and 
provided with a rounded notch on the middle of the inner mar- 
gin; before this notch the tibiae are broader than at the basal 
half; the posterior tibiae show on the apical half of their inner 
margin some very small irregular black denticulations ; the in- 
termediate and posterior tarsi are very slender and elongate ,
