large, round, clearly separated punctures ; they are smallest 
on the lateral lobes of the mesonotum, and are, if anything, 
smaller on the scutellum than in the centre of mesonotum; 
on the metanotum they are more irregular in shape (but not 
larger than on the scutellum) and run into reticulations ; on 
the pleurae the punctuation is closer and finer ; the depres- 
sions are shining and striated in the centre; a little below 
the middle of the mesopleurae is a large broad longitudinal 
furrow. Abdomen closely punctured, the punctures inter- 
lacing on the basal segment; on the apical segment they are 
much weaker. The apical segment is waved in the centre 
and on either side, but there are no teeth ; the foveae are 
not very deep. The coxae, trochanters, femora, and more 
or less of the tibiae are green ; the former three parts bear 
longish fuscous hairs ; the tibiae are more sparsely haired ; 
the tarsi are almost glabrous ; the coxae are punctured ; the 
femora are finely punctured, and bear also some large 
punctures among the smaller, and the hinder four are hol- 
lowed on the underside behind. The metatarsus is as long 
as the following three joints united ; the second joint is as 
long as the fifth. 
The ground colour of the body is blue, the face, the 
orbits of the eyes more or less, two lines on the pronotum, 
the mesonotum laterally, the edges of the metanotum, the 
greater part of the pleurae, and the edges of the abdominal 
segments are greenish or greenish-blue. 
Length 9-10 mm.

Apex of abdomen with four teeth. Green, variegated 
•with blue, antennae black, the scape green. Head coarsely 
punctured above the frontal hollow, which is much more 
closely and finely punctured, in the centre transversely ; 
between and below the antennae they are larger, but more 
sparse; mandibles black; the keel over the hollow is
