 Don. ii. pi. 63. /. 2, 3. 



Ovate, black ; above green : thorax somewhat semicircular, curved posteriorly 

 towards the sides, with the angles obtuse: elytra very convex, bright green, 

 shining, with a rosy or bright red spot at the base of the suture, the disc 

 deeply punctate-striate, with the second and fifth interstices from the suture 

 slightly elevated : abdomen beneath with its lateral margins, broadly pale- 

 green : legs entirely pale or greenish : antennae pale, with the apex dusky. 



Very rare near London, and I believe not frequent in other places : 

 I possess one specimen captured in Devonshire, and another found 

 in Essex : it occurs in June, and has been taken at Highgate. 

 " On Crwmlyn-burrows, not common." — L. W. Dillwyn, Esq.
