metallic discoidal patch commences broadly at the base and gets 
gradually narrowed towards the apex which it does not quite 
reach, the pubescence of the elytra is stiff and arranged more 
regularly near the apex ; in some specimens the apical joints of 
the antennae are nearly black.

Metallic green ; the apical joints of the antennae and the tarsi 
blackish ; legs fulvous. 
Head very closely and finely punctured, the interstices minutely 
granulate, the vertex swollen, the middle with a longitudinal 
groove, the anterior edge of the clypeus deeply concave emar- 
ginate ; labrum fulvous ; antennae fulvous, extending to the base 
of the elytra, the apical four or five joints black. Thorax trans- 
verse, the middle distinctly swollen, the basal and apical portions 
constricted, the surface transversely depressed near the anterior 
margin, very closely and rather distinctly punctured. Scutelluni 
broad, transverse, its apex truncate, distinctly punctured at the 
base. Elytra wider at the base than the thorax, the shoulders 
prominent, the punctures arranged in ill-defined rows ; the 
interstices finely transversely rugose and furnished with single 
white hairs, arranged in rows. Legs fulvous ; the femora robust, 
with a small tooth beneath, the posterior femora greenish-aeneous 
at the apex, tarsi more or less black. Underside metallic green, 
clothed with very short silvery pubescence. In the female the 
thorax is, as usual, much less swollen and constricted at the base 
and apex.

Closely allied to E. ( Pseudocolaspis ) inclica , Baly, but differs in the 
puncturation, in the longer thorax and in the entirely fulvous legs.

Hark bronze or cupreous ; palpi, tibioe, tarsi and the bases of 
antennae reddish-brown. 
Head densely and strongly, iu part confluently punctured ; 
labrum piceous ; clypeus rather more distantly punctured : 
antennae not extending to base of thorax, last five joints black. 
Thorax scarcely broader than long, appearing narrowed anteriorly 
if seen from above ; surface densely reticulate and punctured. 
Scutelluin broad, subpentagonal, finely punctured. Elytra wider 
at base than the thorax, narrowed towards the apex ; surface 
rather depressed, more finely punctured than the thorax, punc-
