Head golden green, punctured. Thorax bronzy, with the anterior mar- 

 gin produced and rounded ;• sides with their margins golden, slightly 

 and regularly rounded ; lateral carina; curved ; surface transversely 

 rugose ; dorsal line with an oval impression just above the scutellnm, 

 and another below the anterior margin, which are almost united in the 

 middle ; sides impressed in front above the lateral cariuae. Elytra 

 bronzy, finely rugose, white-pubescent along the entire length of the 

 suture, the pubescence sjjreading at the base so as to reach above 

 tlie shoulders on either side, and interrupted about a third from the 

 apex. I doubt whether the latter character will prove constant ; but 

 it occurs in the four examples I have before me ; apex rounded, finely 

 denticulate. Beneath and legs bronzy, covered with white hairs.
