Allied to the former, but easily distinguished by size, color and 

 sculpture of the thorax. The male is shorter and the female plumper 

 than the former. The thorax is smaller and, as is also the head, of 

 a bright copper color with greenish sides, its impressions, especially 

 in the female, are deeper and its anterior part laterally more de- 

 flexed. Moreover the yellowish margin of the abdomen is wanting 

 and the tooth of the mentuin is not excavated. The elytra, antennae 

 and palpi are, making allowances for size, etc., those of the former.

Of the general appearance of the preceding two species. The 

 head finely longitudinally, the thorax transversely rugose ; the latter 

 with rounded and deflexed sides. The mandibles are of deep brown, 

 the palpi and antenna? of yellowish color darkened towards the tip. 

 The lobes of the mentum tooth are externally rounded. The elytra 

 are marked by two subapical spots of yellowish color and semi lunar 

 shape (the back of the lunules being turned towards the suture). 

 The striae verge near the apex by twos into each other. The abdo- 

 men is distinguished by having a yellow margin and apex.
