testaceous, antennae black, four basal joints and undersurface of 
fifth testaceous; pro thorax reddish-testaceous; scutellum black; 
elytra dark coppery green; abdominal segments black, narrowly 
margined — except apical — with testaceous; legs testaceous, four 
posterior coxae and trochantins blackish, femora with more or less

Head large, strongly transverse (excluding the mandibles); 
eyes large, not at all prominent, the sides behind them almost 
parallel; a semicircular impression between the eyes, the horns of 
which terminate close to the ctypeus and bases of antennas; near 
the base a very shallow impression (invisible from some direc- 
tions); antennae slender, reaching intermediate coxae, joints sub- 
cylindric, gradually narrowing, 1st as long as 2nd-3rd combined, 
2nd not as long as 3rd, 3rd-7th subequal, 8th-llth perceptibly 
increasing in length; undersurface of head faintly corrugated; two 
small elongate foveae in the middle, the space between them dis- 
tinctly corrugated. Prothorax slightly longer than wide, sub- 
quadrate, angles feebly rounded, wider than head across eyes;
