The bright apple-green colouring, and the burnished silvery mar- 
gin to the elytra will at once distinguish this insect from any of the 
hitherto described species of its genus. 
The head is sparingly but distinctly punctured on the crown, 
thickly punctured on the clypeus; the extreme margin and under-side 
of this latter. the canthus, the basal joint of the antenne, and the apex 
of the mandibles are coppery. The thorax is sparingly and indistinetly 
punctured, the sides are slightly angular, the extreme lateral margins 
are thickened and coppery. 
The elytra are narrowest at the base, gradually becoming broader to 
the apical two-thirds and then slightly narrowed, with the apex bluntly 
rounded. The margins are deflexed, especially at the apex, the deflexed 
portion bright, silvery «neous ; the extreme margin at the base in- 
crassate and slightly reflexed, the reflexed portion coppery. The under 
side is brassy-green with greyish reflections ; the central part of the 
metasternum with rose-coloured reflections. The prosternal process is 
broad and slightly concave. The four basal joints of the tarsi are very 
short. 
Habitat, Chiriqui.
