margins reflexed at the humeral angles, where they are wider 
than behind ; the sides rounded ofif to the shoulders, which are 
rather prominent ; the base lightly excavated ; the surface of the 
elytra covered closely with faint punctures (apparent without a

Brilliant metallic green, with a bluish tint in some lights. Head,
