Blanda Dej. Above green, beneath brilliant bronze green; Dejean 
compares it with vartegata (marginata) and says: It is smaller, lighter 
green, elytra narrower and more parallel, especially in the Q, less 
deeply punctured, the lateral margin is broader especially near the 
apex, the humeral lunule is larger, not sinuate, united with the basal 
dot; the middle band is nearly as in /orfwosa, but broader and a little 
toothed at the sides, the apical lunule is entirely consumed by the 
broad white margin. Labrum short, one toothed; hind trochanters 
rufous. The elytra appear white, only a dark narrow sutural stripe 
with four branches being left. The female has no tooth near the tip 
of the elytra and the sinuation is very feeble. pl. IV, fig. f It is very 
rare. Locality reported Georgia & North Carolina. Length 11-12 mm.
