Supra nigro-virens et satis opacus> 



subtus niger et politus; capite 



antice, ore, gula, suturse apice 



et pedibus testaceis ; capite pos- 



tice leviter granuloso, antice im- 



punctato ; thorace fortiter et dense 



punctato, margine late et pro- 



funde reflexo; elytris opacis, le- 

 viter punctato-striatis, interstitiis 



transversim papillose punctatis atque transversim levissime 



aciculatis; subtus prosterno leviter punctato, mesosterno et 



metasterno fortiter punctatis.

Rather narrow; greenish black and opake above, black and 

 polished below ; the anterior part of the head, the basal joint of 

 the antennae, the parts of the mouth, the throat, the extreme 

 margins of the sides of the thorax, the renexed margin of the 

 elytra, particularly towards the apex, and a narrow margin on 

 their sides and suture near their apex, and the legs, testaceous. 

 Head finely granulose behind, smoother on the vertex, which is 

 somewhat raised ; front smooth and impunctate, with a trans- 

 verse shallow depression in the middle opposite the anterior 

 part of the eyes, an irregular depression and some granulose 

 punctures on each side close to the base of the antennse; the 

 greenish colour of the head advances in the centre as far for- 

 ward as the front of the eyes, but the testaceous colour passes 

 backward on each side as far as the middle of the eye ; the apex 

 of the mandibles and of the joints of the palpi is darker than 

 the rest; clypeus rather broad; labrum quadrate, somewhat 

 broadest in front, with a large shallow depression in the centre 

 (but I am doubtful whether this is not owing to an accidental 

 crushing in my specimen) ; antennse dark fuscous, the basal 

 joint, and possibly the second, which is the shortest, more or less 

 testaceous; eyes moderately prominent. Thorax subcordate, 

 not without resemblance to the thorax in Agonum, coarsely aod 

 granulosely punctate, so as to appear opake; margins rather 

 broadly reflexed, especially behind, with their edges narrowly 

 semitranslucent and testaceous ; dorsal line well marked, but
