Brassy, shining on the head and pro thorax ; labrum yellowish- white, 

 sub-quadrate, very slightly unidentate, even in the female^ at the apex, 

 but slightly acute in the anterior angle, with one setigerous puncture 

 on each side of the median tooth, and another on the outer angle ; 

 head and prothorax very metallic, hairless ; elytra elongated, a little 

 ampliated behind in the female, dark -bronze, very faintly punctured, 

 but with a row of broad, deep, bluish-green punctures on each side 

 along the suture, and a broad yellowish marginal band sending a small 

 short hook in the anterior part, a longer and blunter one at about the 

 median part, and a small sinuation in the third, posterior part ; the 

 median ramus is, as often as not, produced in a slightly slanting, 

 narrow dorsal ramus a little thickened at the tip, but sometimes wanting 

 the connecting dorsal band, when there is only a small, round, post 

 median dorsal spot left ; underside glowing-red, abdomen greenish- 

 blue, very slightly pilose. 



In size and colouring this species resembles much Gicindela 

 marginella.
