The original description of Lefevre is short and unsatisfactory, 
the sex of the specimen described is not mentioned and the 
antennae and legs are described as “ testaceous,” fulvous probably 
being meant. The above description is from specimens in my 
collection which I cannot refer to any other pubescent species. 
Lefevre’s type was of metallic green coloration, with narrow 
thoracic and elytral cupreous margins. 
Species without pubescence ; legs generally fulvous or fiavous.

Metallic green, sometimes bluish ; antennae and labrum fuscous ; 
legs fiavous, knees aeneous, tarsi obscure fuscous.
