230 MISIC. PUBLIOATTON 470, U. S. DEFT. OF AGRICULTURE 



Redescribed from a male in the United States National Museum, 

 collected at Clemson College, S. C, during the summer of 1926, by 

 W. C. Maxwell. 



Female. — None seen. 



Type locality. — North America, probably Georgia ; present location 

 of type unknown to the writer. 



Gory described this species from a specimen in the Dejean Collec- 

 tion. The elder LeConte sent a large number of Coleoptera collected 

 in Georgia to Dejean, and the specimen from which the above rede- 

 scription was made is from near the supposed type locality. This is 

 the only specimen seen that agrees with the description given by 

 Gory.

Female. — Small, oblong, equally rounded in front and behind, moderately- 

 convex, subopaque, uniformly purplish red, each elytron ornamented with bright 

 green as follows : A broad basal fascia extending from near scutellum to lateral 

 margin, where it is connected to a broad, slightly arcuate, antemedian fascia, 

 which does not reach the sutural margin ; a broad, transverse spot at apical 

 third, and a small spot at apex; beneath dark brown, with purplish, reddish, 

 and bronzy reflections in certain lights, and more strongly shining than above. 



Head uniformly purplish brown, with a short, smooth, longitudinal carina on 

 occiput ; front slightly convex ; surface finely, densely granulose, coarsely, 

 densely, shallowly punctate, sparsely clothed with short, recumbent, whitish 

 hairs ; eyes narrowly separated on occiput ; clypeus broadly, deeply, triangularly 

 emarginate in front, obliquely truncate on each side. Antenna uniformly reddish 

 brown, slightly narrowed to apex ; intermediate segments rather compact, sub- 

 triangular, as long as wide, broadly rounded at outer margins; third segment 

 as long as following two segments united. 



Pronotum twice as wide as long, narrower at apex than at base, widest at 

 middle; sides arcuately rounded; posterior angles broadly rounded; anterior 

 margin slightly, broadly, arcuately emarginate, without a median lobe ; base 

 arcuately emarginate on each side, median lobe strongly produced, truncate 

 in front of scutellum ; disk moderately convex, without depressions or callosities ; 

 surface coarsely, densely, uniformly punctate, slightly rugose toward posterior 

 angles, intervals finely, densely granulose. 



Elytra distinctly wider than pronotum at base, widest behind middle, not 

 quite twice as long as wide ; sides slightly diverging from humeral angles to be- 

 hind middle, then arcuately converging to tips, which are separately broadly 

 rounded ; lateral margins coarsely serrate posteriorly ; basal depressions broad 

 and deep; humeral depressions rather small and shallow; surface glabrous, 

 densely, coarsely, uniformly punctate, intervals finely, densely granulose, each 

 elytron with a moderately deep, transverse depression in the bright-green, 

 antemedian fascia, but without longitudinal costae. 



Abdomen beneath coarsely, sparsely punctate, sparsely clothed with short, 

 erect, white hairs, without lateral callosities, intervals densely, finely granu- 

 lose ; last visible sternite broadly rounded at apex, without a submarginal 

 ridge, lateral margins not serrate ; eighth tergite finely, densely punctate, 

 densely granulose, broadly rounded at apex. Prosternum sparsely, coarsely 

 punctate, sparsely clothed with short, semierect, white hairs; anterior margin 

 with a narrow median lobe. Anterior femur with a rather large, acutely tri- 

 angular tooth, which is not distinctly dentate on outer margin. Anterior tibia 

 slightly sinuate, unarmed at apex; middle and posterior tibiae straight. 



Length 4.75 mm., width 2.25 mm.
