 Brilliant-green, beneath immaculate : elytra of a rich gold or cupreous hue, 



with the base bright green. 



This beautiful insect has been taken on some willows in Lord-

Ovate golden-green, slightly shining; head and thorax thickly rugose-punc- 

 tate, the -wrinkles on the latter being placed transversely; thorax with a 

 transverse double impression a little behind the middle; elytra rather broader 

 than the thorax at the base, depressed above, and obsoletely rugose- punctate; 

 body brilliant golden-green beneath; legs green-brass; antennae the same>

% Sp. 11. manca. Rufo-cuprea elytins obscuris, thorace aureo striis duabus

Rufo- cupreous, thorax with two obscure longitudinal lines; elytra obscure, 

 thickly granulated ; body beneath brilliant rufous-copper ; femora cupreous ; 

 tibife, tarsi, and antenna- obscure. 



Turton marks this as a British species; but I have not yet seen an indigenous 

 specimen.

note. 

 Ovate, dull-black, bronzed; thorax with four transverse impressed foveas; the 



elytra thickly rugose-punctate. 

 Also marked as a native of Britain by Turton, but I suspect without sufficient 



authority.
