elytra gives this species a very distinctive appearance. In some 
examples the scutellnm is more or less tinged with green.

The clypeus is continuous with the hinder part of the head, 
which bears a longitudinal channel more or less foveiform in 
front. The prothorax is nearly half again as wide as long, and 
its base is half again as wide as its front, all the angles acute and 
pointed outwards, sides gently rounded (most strongly in front). 
The head, prothorax and scutellum are finely coriaceous and sub- 
opaque, the interstices of the strife on the elytra scarcely visibly 
punctured. 
Eesembles the preceding but is less narrowed behind, with the 
si<les of the prothorax rounded, elytra nitid, &c.

The clypeus is not truly sej)arated from the front by a trans- 
verse farrow, but a longitudinal channel running down the 
latter spreads out in front in a manner that gives somewhat 
the appearance of a dividing furrow. The prothorax is netirly
