sterno fortiter projiciente ; uno ex unguiliculis anterioribus 

 bifido, unguiculis ceteris simplicibus ; subtus roseo-cupreo- 

 viridi. Long. 12 lin., lat. 6 lin. 



Nearly of the same form as Euchlora viridis, but a little 

 more elongate, and the elytra a little expanded behind ; bright 

 green, polished, shining, exceedingly faintly, irregularly punc- 

 tate. Head with a few scattered, nearly imperceptible punc- 

 tures on the forehead, deeply and closely punctate along the 

 clypeus ; a black line like a crack starts from a corner in 

 front of the canthus of the eye, and after a short distance 

 breaks into two branches, which soon disappear ; as in the rest 

 of the genus, a short canthus half separates the eye into two. 

 Labium emarginate. Thorax bright green, with a faint tes- 

 taceous tint shining through here and there ; very smooth on 

 the disk, but a few small scattered punctures may be seen 

 by the aid of a lens, and these are more numerous and visible 

 (although still very faint and sparce) along the sides. The 

 punctures are nearly uniform in size, — not large and small 

 mixed together ; a marginal stria runs along the sides, not 

 reaching wholly to the basal margin, is continued round in 

 front of the anterior angles, but disappears immediately 

 after ; no marginal stria along any part of the base. Scu- 

 tellum elongate, very smooth, nearly impunctate ; the apex 

 and margins next to it black. Elytra green, with a testa- 

 ceous tinge shining through it, which is disposed in longitu- 

 dinal stripes, — in my specimen there are three such stripes 

 visible on each elytron, — polished and shining, with scattered 

 minute longitudinal punctures, disposed somewhat in rows, 

 not visible to the naked eye. There are several impressions, 

 like effaced striae, and a few larger punctures, disposed irre- 

 gularly along the margin near the base, like a marginal 

 stria. Pygidium bright green, with a bronzy hue in some 

 lights ; irregularly transversely strigose. Under side and legs 

 rich rosy copper, with the middle of the breast and basal por- 

 tion of abdominal segments bronzy green ; prosternum, sides 

 of breast, and edges of thighs, thickly clothed with a fulvous 

 pubescence ; abdominal segments, except the last, strigosely 

 punctate, with occasional hairs springing from the punctures, 

 which are arranged chiefly in an irregular line, parallel with
