Sub-cylindrical, violaceous-black, but little shining on the upper 

 part, pectus and legs brassy-green, external basal part of mandibles 

 and palpi yellowish, with the ultimate joints of the latter black ; labrum 

 moderately large, bronze-black, tri-dentate at the apex, head strigose 

 lengthways, with six foveas between the eyes ; prothorax sub-cylindrical, 

 irregularly aciculated transversely ; elytra elongated, more closely 

 punctured behind than in the anterior part, impressed lengthwise on 

 the disk, very dark-blue, moderately shining and with three small, 

 whitish maculse on each side, the first one immediately behind the 

 central part of the disk, the second one, round like the first, near the 

 apex, the third one oblong, but occasionally absent, is situated in the 

 outer margin at about the middle of the length ; the postical and 

 apical margins are also narrowly edged with white, legs moderately 

 long and setulose, brassy-green. 



This species, which I have not seen, but a drawing of which was 

 courteously sent me by Professor C. Aurivilius, of the Stockholm 

 Museum, is doubtless very closely allied to, if not identical with, 

 quadripustulata.
