 7-9 mm. S 2 - 

 Colour varying from a greenish black or black to a dark blue on 

 the thorax, and from a very dark green to black on the head and 

 elytra. Legs and underside bluish black or black, and more glossy 

 than the upperside. Prothorax finely punctured, convex, with its 

 lateral margins almost regularly rounded in some examples, in 

 others presenting a slight irregularity or nearly obsolete crenation. 

 Elytra longitudinally striate, with the intervals raised and irre- 

 gularly punctured and \\"rinkled, so that they have a somewhat 

 roughly granular appearance throughout almost their \\hole extent. 

 Posteriorly the elytra are strongly declivous or sub vertical. 



In the male the elytra are somewhat narrower relatively to the 

 prothorax than in the female. The sexes may further be easily 

 distinguished by the much thicker anterior femora of the male, 

 which are armed also with a stronger and somewhat curved spine. 

 Three species of the genus Catamerus have been hitherto de- 

 scribed, viz. : —
