tate, punctures alníost concealed. Scutellum subtriangular. 
Elytra much wider than prothorax, feebly increasing in 
width to near apex, each strongly rounded at base; seriate- 
punctate, punctures rather large and subquadrate, appear- 
ing to be rather small and oblong when seen through cloth- 
ing. Femora thick, scarcely clavate, edentate; tibiæ stout, 
with numerous small teeth. Length, male, 33 (rost. incl.), 
width, 14; female, 44 x 2 mm.

The small teeth on the tibiæ are more pronounced on the 
anterior pair, but on all they are frequently entirely con- 
cealed. The prothorax at first sight appears to be strongly 
bisinuate at the base. The colour of the scales appears to 
be scarcely the same in any two individuals; those of the 
under surface are more or less grey, in the male usually with 
a bluish, in the female usually with a greenish tinge, some- 
times they are dead white. On the supper surface of the 
female the prevailing colour appears to be either a sober 
grey or green variegated with obscure gold; on the male the 
scales are also frequently grey, but are usually of a russet or 
golden brown; in many specimens of both sexes, however, 
the scales are of a dingy black.

formly clothed with pale green scales; a few small brown 
spots on the elytra. Muzzle with long sete; prothorax with 
numerous stout sete not rising above general level; elytra 
with two or three irregular rows on each interstice, but very 
dense on suture; under surface and legs with much finer 
setæ than on upper.

nected with apical triangle by a narrow shining carina. Cur- 
vature of scape more pronounced near base than near apex; 
two basal joints of funicle elongate, the first slightly longer 
than second, seventh longer than sixth. Prothorax widely 
transverse, base strongly bisinuate, sides very feebly round- 
ed; rather coarsely punctate, the punctures almost concealed. 
Scutellum transverse. Hlytra about once and one-fourth the 
width of prothorax, very feebly increasing in width to be- 
yond the middle; striate-punctate, punctures round and 
moderately large, but appearing to be small and oblong 
through clothing. Femora clavate, feebly dentate. Length, 
84 (rost. incl); width, 22; variation in length, 6-84 mm.
