xxxvi, 1892, p. 912. 
Beneath metallic greenish or bluish, above obscure aeneous ; 
antennae with the apical joints dilated ; the head and thorax 
cupreous. 
Head strongly and rather closely punctured, the vertex more 
sparingly punctate, the middle of the front with a small, more or 
less distinct tubercle ; the anterior margin of the clypeus, the 
labrum and the mandibles black ; antennae black, the second and 
third joints more or less fulvous, the last five joints broadly dilated. 
Thorax twice as broad as long, the sides strongly rounded at the 
margin, the anterior angles pointed ; the surface strongly, closely 
and rather evenly punctured, the punctures more crowded at the 
sides but all of equal size, a very obsolete oblique depression at 
each side. Scutellum broader than long, smooth. Elytra convex, 
subcylindrical, very closely and much more strongly punctured 
than the thorax, the punctures arranged in very closely approxi- 
mate semiregular rows, in the female interrupted by longitudinal 
narrow smooth spaces, the interstices at the sides moderately 
transversely rugose. Underside and legs bluish or greenish, not 
very shining and clothed with short whitish pubescence. 
Var. Above entirely dark aeneous. 
Length 6-10 mm.
