 green on the back, dark-blue on the sides and apex, very convex,

Length, 22 ; width, 7^™-™' 



Differs from the type in the shape of the elytra much more par- 

 allel than in regalis, the colouring is different, the suture is less 

 depressed owing to the dorsal tubercles being much less developed, 



which makes also the smooth discoidal space edging the three dorsal 

 row of oblong tubercles less discernible.
