are bright golden green, the remaining testaceous with a faint 
metallic green tinge; the legs are reddish testaceous, with the 
apex of the femora and the basal half of the tibiae metallic 
green; on the tibiae the green colour is slightly prolonged along 
the outer margin; the extreme tip of the tibiae, and the tarsi 
(the testaceous basal half of the claw-joint excepted) pitchy. 
Head strongly and densely punctured, on the narrowed front 
portion the punctures are very fine. 
Prothorax subtransverse, attenuated in nearly straight lines 
to the front; the sides crenulate, faintly constricted a little before 
the base; the anterior angles rounded, not at all prominent, the 
front margin straight; the base bisinuate, the lateral angles 
acute, the median lobe rounded. The upper surface not densely 
and somewhat irregularly covered with very large and deep 
punctures; a short impunctate streak is present in front of the 
scutellum, which latter is semicircular, impunctate, and impressed 
in the middle. 
Elytra very elongate, slightly narrowing towards and rather 
acutely pointed at the apices which are dehiscent. Each elytron 
with ten regular striae of punctures which become larger towards 
the sides; the 3" and 9™ interstices are strongly costate on the 
apical portion, and the 3" reaches on to the extreme tip of the 
pointed apices. 
The middle portion of the under surface of the head rather 
finely and very remotely punctured, the throat impunctate ; on 
the metallic lateral portions of the prosternum the punctures 
are large and deep, on the sides of the metasternum they are 
very fine; the abdomen impunctate, the last ventral segment 
rounded posteriorly and provided in front of the apical margin 
with a few distinct punctures; the legs are impunctate, with 
the exception, however, of the metallic green portions which 
have a few punctures; the anterior tibiae are straight; the 
tarsi are slender and elongate, and as long as if not longer 
than the tibiae.
