The seneous colouring on the prothorax is condned to the front 
■where it is obscure and cloudy. The separation between the 
clyi>eus and front is indicated only by the difference in punctura- 
tion. Tliere is a distinct longitudinal sulcus between the eyes 
which in front meets a very ill-defined curved transverse impres- 
sion. The prothorax is a little more than half again as wide as 
long, its sides are rather strongly rounded, and its apical margin 
is considerably narrower than the base. The minutely coriaceous 
surface of the head and prothorax renders them sub-opaque ; the 
elytra are very nitid. The green colouring is at its brightest on 
the elytra, where it occupies the whole space between the fourth 
stri® on either side extending backward nearly half-way to the 
apex.

The rufous colouring on the elytra is extremely variable. The 
extreme basal margin and the anterior two-fifths of the suture 
appear to be always rufous, but in some examples much more 
narrowly than in others • at two-fifths of the length of the suture 
the rufous colouring spreads out into an elongate-oval spot, which
