Body oblong, colour of elytra blue; head, prothorax, and 

 scutellum blue-black ; underside black ; apex of first segment, and 

 second and third segments, of antennae brownish mixed with 

 piceous ; basal portion of first segment piceous, rest of the 

 antennal segments black ; legs dark piceous, with the femora of a 

 deeper shade, red-brown at the points of articulation. 



Head gently convex, with vertex im punctate, frontal tubercles 

 absent, interantennal carina not sharp ; vertex delimited by two 

 oblique impressions running above the eyes and converging 

 towards the middle ; eyes not so convex as in other species 

 clypeus somewhat convex and with a few scattered whitish hairs. 

 Antennae in the male extending to the apex of the elytra and in 

 the female somewhat shorter ; first segment long and club-shaped, 

 second much shorter, third longer than second but shorter than 

 fourth ; the rest of the segments more or less nearly equal to 

 each other, gradually somewhat thickened and more hairy, the 

 last pointed. Prothorax slightly broader than long, sides rounded, 

 the four corners rounded and each with a distinct long seta ; 

 surface gently convex, finely and sparsely punctate, the punctures 

 being more sparse in front than towards the base. Scutellum 

 sharply triangular, broader than long, impunctate. Elytra broader 

 at base than prothorax, somewhat broadened at the middle and 

 then slightly narrowing ; surface strongly and confusedly punctate, 

 the punctures being much stronger than those of the pronotum.
