Elongate, subparallel, convex, bright shining fulvous above, a 

 large patch on the vertex, and the elytra, bright metallic green ; 

 these latter with a narrow line on their outer margin, a patch on 

 the shoulder and a broad transverse flexuose band immediately be- 

 hind their middle, fulvous ; antennae nigro-aeneous, two basal joints 

 fulvous beneath. Head smooth, impunctate, face impressed be- 

 tween the eyes by a large deep triangular fovea, divided in the 

 centre by a longitudinal groove, the latter extending upwards on 

 the vertex ; epistome distantly punctured, apex of jaws obscure 

 Eeneous ; antennae rather longer than half the body. Thorax 

 twice as broad as long ; apical border regularly concave-emar- 

 ginate ; sides subparallel, subsinuate, narrowed in front, anterior 

 angles submucronate, their apex obtuse; above smooth and shin- 

 ing, impunctate, sides impressed just within their outer border 

 with several deep foveas, which are more or less confluent, and 

 form a deep longitudinal fossa, which extends nearly from the 

 base to the apex of the thorax. Scutellum subtrigonate, its apex 

 obtuse. Elytra rather broader than the thorax ; sides subparallel, 

 slightly sinuate below the shoulders, indistinctly dilated behind 

 their middle ; apex angustate-rotundate ; above convex, each 

 elytron with eleven regular rows of distinct punctures, the outer 

 one placed on the extreme lateral edge of the elytron, the first 

 abbreviated a short distance from its base, the others irregular be- 

 low their middle, and entirely lost on the apical third of the sur- 

 face, which is smooth and nearly free from punctures ; on the 

 disc below the shoulders are three short transverse deeply im- 

 pressed fossae, also along the outer border are placed several 

 others, longitudinal, the surface of all being deeply punctured.
