  Flavescent, 
  with 
  the 
  head, 
  the 
  discoidal 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  prothorax 
  the 
  

   scutellum 
  and 
  the 
  tibiae 
  reddish 
  brown 
  with 
  a 
  strong 
  metallic 
  sheen, 
  

   which 
  is 
  also, 
  but 
  in 
  a 
  much 
  lesser 
  degree, 
  noticeable 
  on 
  the 
  elytra 
  ; 
  

   head 
  deeply 
  and 
  very 
  closely 
  punctured, 
  the 
  punctures 
  are 
  more 
  

   irregular 
  on 
  the 
  clypeus, 
  which 
  is 
  therefore 
  more 
  shagreened, 
  and 
  is 
  

   plainly 
  attenuate 
  laterally 
  with 
  the 
  angles 
  broadly 
  rounded, 
  and 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  part 
  sub-truncate 
  ; 
  prothorax 
  a 
  little 
  broader 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  

   than 
  across 
  the 
  median 
  part, 
  and 
  covered 
  with 
  somewhat 
  closely 
  

   set, 
  round, 
  moderately 
  shallow 
  punctures 
  equi-distant 
  all 
  over 
  the 
  

   surface 
  ; 
  scutellum 
  with 
  somewhat 
  scattered, 
  round, 
  moderately 
  

   deep 
  punctures 
  ; 
  elytra 
  a 
  little 
  shorter 
  in 
  proportion 
  to 
  the 
  size 
  than 
  

   any 
  of 
  the 
  South 
  African 
  species, 
  being 
  only 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  

   prothorax,

  punctato-striate, 
  especially 
  the 
  first 
  four 
  striae, 
  

   the 
  four 
  intervals 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  distinctly 
  costate 
  ; 
  the 
  third 
  interval 
  

   is 
  pluri-punctate 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  about 
  one-fifth 
  of 
  the 
  length 
  ; 
  the 
  

   pygidium 
  is 
  closely 
  punctate, 
  and 
  the 
  pectus 
  only 
  slightly 
  villose 
  ;

  inner 
  claw 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  and 
  

   intermediate 
  tarsi 
  cleft 
  in 
  both 
  sexes, 
  the 
  anterior 
  inner 
  claw 
  is 
  very 
  

   broad 
  in 
  the 
  male.

  Testaceous, 
  with 
  the

  reddish

  has 
  a 
  

   very 
  broad 
  fuscous 
  sub-metallic 
  patch 
  covering 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  

   central 
  part, 
  and 
  also 
  a 
  round 
  spot 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  supra-lateral 
  fossa 
  

   which, 
  as 
  often 
  as 
  not, 
  coalesces 
  with
