 gula ; first joint of antennae, mouth-parts and legs testaceo- 

 rufous ; prothorax obcordate, scarcely sinuate in front of 

 posterior angles, which are obliquely cut off and slightly 

 rounded, finely channelled at middle, with the anterior 

 angular impression almost obsolete. Head dark bronzy 

 green, sometimes with a small punchform impression at the 

 middle above the frontal impressions. Elytra moderately 

 convex, furrows well-marked, not punctate, interspaces

On being shown a specimen. Dr. Horn declared he 

 doubted the American origin of this species, but as I have 

 individuals from Ste. Eose and He Perrot, P.Q., both 

 rather out-of-the-way places and somewhat distant from 

 each other, I venture to describe it as new. 



I wish to dedicate it to Geo. H. Horn, M.D., of Phila., the 

 distinguished American coleopterist, who well deserves 

 such an honor.
