Smaller thau the preceding, which it much resembles in general 

 appearance ; it may be easily known by the longer labrum, the 

 smaller head, the much narrower space between the more 

 prominent eyes, and the longer and distinctly narrower pronotum, 

 which is rather longer than broad ; the white markings on the 

 elytra are different, the lunule at the shoulder being larger, and 

 the hinder markings more or less confluent ; of these there are 

 five or six in all on each, besides the humeral patch ; the apical 

 patch is crescent-shaped and dilated at its upper extremity ; the 

 trochanters are red; the underside is thickly pubescent at the 

 sides, as in the preceding species, the genae being comparatively 

 scantily but distinctly pubescent. 



Length 12-13 millim.

Labrum rather large, testaceous ; head and pronotum dark r 



coppery and greenish, very finely 

 sculptured,with very fine striae just 

 within the eyes, which arenot very 

 prominent ; pronotum subqua- 

 drate, a little longer than broad, 

 with the sides almost straight, 

 margins with distinct setae ; elytra 

 somewhat dilated behind, dull, 

 velvety, scarcely perceptibly punc- 

 tured, obscure dark green, with a 

 long yellow linear patch on each 

 extending from the shoulder to 

 the middle, and a long patch of 

 about the same length, but more 

 curved, extending from the middle 

 nearly to the apex ; besides these 

 there is a short linear patch close 

 to the scutellum, two more of the 

 same character on the front half 

 near the suture, and a spot before

joined to the extremity of the 

 yellow marginal apical marking ; legs and underside metallic, 

 cyaneous or green, the latter with the sides of the abdomen, and 

 the sterna, thickly pubescent, the episterna of the meta- and pro-
