 subnitidis, tenuiter subcrebre punctatis, nigro-cyaneis ; tibiis apice 

 tarsisque infuscatis. Long. 4^-5 lin. 



Mas. Abdominis segmento anali profunde trilobato, lobo intermedio 

 alteris paullo longiore, oblongo, apice truncato, concavo, 



Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali bilobato, lobis apice incurvatis, pygidio

 sides nearly parallel and slightly sinuate from the base nearly to 

 the apex ; middle disk deeply excavated transversely, the hinder 

 margin of the excavation obsoletely trisinuate. Elytra finely
