A moderate-sized, parallel-sided species, with the head and pro- 

 notum rather shining, closely, finely, and asperately sculptured, and 

 the elytra dark green, sometimes almost black-green, with yellow 



markings at the sides ; labrum 

 large, testaceous, with dark mar- 

 gin, distinctly toothed ; head 

 plainly striated inside the eyes, 

 which are not strongly prominent ; 

 pronotum slightly transverse, 

 widest before the anterior con- 

 striction, where it is almost as 

 broad as the head with the eyes, 

 gradually and gently rounded and 

 narrowed behind, with the base 

 about as broad as the apex, dis- 

 tinctly setose at the sides and on 

 the anterior margin ; elytra sub- 

 parallel-sided, velvety green, very 

 finely and not closely but evi- 

 dently punctured towards base, 

 with a crescent-shaped spot on 

 each at the shoulder, more or less

and sometimes extended at the 

 base towards the scutellum, a round spot just behind the middle, 

 not touching the margin, and an oblique broad apical patch ceasing 

 at some little distance from the sutural angle ; legs metallic green, 

 coppery and violaceous, trochanters dark ; underside mostly 

 violaceous, with the sides of the abdomen and metasternum more 

 or less thickly pubescent, and the sides oi: the prosternum bare ; 

 the episterna of the metasternum, as far as I have seen, are bare 

 in the female and have a few scattered hairs in the male, but they 

 may have been rubbed off in the former case. 

 Length 13^—1 6 millim.
