tween the 4 th and 7 th , the posterior ones between the 3 rd and 6 th striae. 

 Underside reddish testaceous, the head bronze green, the epipleurae brassy ; 

 the coxae and the basal two third of the femora are reddish testaceous, 

 the rest of the femora dark pitchy with a bright metallic hue at the tip, 

 the tibiae and the tarsi coppery bronze. 



The head is broad, not strongly produced in front of the eyes, rather 

 remotely covered with large very distinct punctures on the raised middle 

 portion between the eyes; the narrowed front portion truncate with 

 broadly rounded lateral angles, its punctuation very minute. 



The prothorax is transverse, slightly narrowing in faintly curved 

 lines towards the front margin, the front angles subacute; the base bisi- 

 nuate, the median lobe rounded, the lateral angles acute; the upper sur- 

 face covered with punctures which are large and close together on the 

 sides, towards the middle they get smaller and are wider apart, leaving 

 a smooth line (broadest towards the base) along the middle. The scutel- 

 lum is strongly transverse, glossy and impunctate. 



The elytra are elongate ovate, the apices bluntly rounded, the suturai 

 angle more narrowly than the outer one, no trace of a suturai tooth; 

 each elytron with ten regular striae of punctures (the 10 th marginal) 

 which become finer towards the suture; the interstices are impunctate, 

 slightly costate at the end, especially the 3 rd and 9 th which join the 

 apical margin. 



Beneath the head shows some very large punctures in the middle 

 portion, laterally it is more densely covered with smaller punctures; the 

 prosternum bears some distinct punctures which are larger and closer 

 together along the sides; on the sides of the metasternum the punctures 

 are large, the middle is smooth and shining; the elytral epipleurae show 

 a few rather indistinct punctures. The ventral segments are extremely 

 finely and indistinctly punctured; the apical segment, which is slightly 

 longer than the preceding one, is broadly rounded posteriorly and shows 

 a shallow semicircular pubescent impression at the tip, which impression 

 is accompanied on both sides by an indistinct smaller one; each ventral 

 segment bears on both sides of the middle an erect hair, on the apical 

 segment these hairs are more numerous. The tibiae are distinctly punct- 

 ured, those of the anterior pair of legs are strongly curved in their 

 apical half, the others are straight.
