long scutellar row of punctures, and ten other regular striae of 

 deeply impressed punctures ; the interspaces between the rows 

 are almost of equal width, except that between the eighth and 

 ninth rows, which is slightly narrower, and that between the 

 ninth and tenth (i. e., along the extreme margin), which is 

 the broadest and is slightly raised ; the interspaces on the inner 

 half of the elytra are flat ; entire surface closely cohered with 

 very fine punctures in addition to the seriate punctures. Under- 

 side sparsely punctate, each puncture bearing a silvery hair. 

 Length, 4| mm. ; breadth, 2± mm.

Body elongate and parallel-sided. Upper side greenish -aeneous ; 

 antennae, labrum, clypeus, and underside fulvous ; in parts of the 

 underside the colour is almost pitchy. 



Head closely punctate with larger and more minute punctures, 

 frontal tubercles and interantennal carina absent. Antennae 

 widely separated, inserted near the lower part of the eyes, 

 extending slightly beyond the base of the prothorax ; basal 

 segment elongate and club-shaped, second slightly thicker and 

 almost equal to third, fourth equal to third ; the following 

 segments slightly longer, thicker, and more bristly ; the surface on 

 either side between the eye and the labrum is channelled to 

 receive the basal segment of the antenna. Prothorax somewhat 

 broader than long, widened at the middle, narrowed in front, 

 sides slightly rounded, narrowly margined, anterior angles pro- 

 duced into a slightly truncate tooth, posterior angles rounded, 

 hind margin broadly rounded and slightly produced in the middle; 

 surface convex, closely impressed with larger round and numerous 

 smaller punctures ; the larger punctures are more numerous at 

 the sides than in the middle. Scutellum triangular, with surface 

 impunctate. Elytra as broad at base as prothorax, regularly and 

 strongly punctate-striate, each elytron with eleven rows of 

 punctures, including a scutellar and an extreme marginal row ; 

 interstices very closely and finely puuctate. Underside : abdominal 

 sternites finely punctate.
