Sambus ornatus sp. nov. 
Rather robust, head and pronotum brilliant green in the male, 
coppery in the female; pronotum bronzy; elytra bronzy and 
marked with irregular patches of white or pale yellow hairs, 
these pubescent areas becoming transverse near apical part; 
beneath bronzy, clothed with short white pubescence. 
Head with front slightly rounded, slightly grooved on vertex 
and occiput, densely punctate, finely, densely granulate and 
sparsely clothed with short white pubescence in male, yellow 
in female; antennae green in male, bronzy in female, reaching 
to middle of pronotum; clypeal suture distinct; epistoma wide, 
transverse between the antennae. Pronotum much wider than 
long, slightly narrower in front than behind; sides slightly 
flattened and regularly arcuate, with the lateral margin crenu- 
late; anterior margin bisinuate, with the median lobe broadly 
rounded; base bisinuate, with the median lobe broadly rounded 
in front of scutellum; lateral carina arcuate, reaching from 
posterior angle to apical fourth; disk convex anteriorly, with a 
rather deep depression on the inside of the lateral carina, reach- 
ing from base to median part; surface densely punctate, finely 
rugose and sparsely clothed with very fine white pubescence in 
the male, pale yellow in the female. Scutellum large, triangular, 
dark bronzy; surface finely reticulate. Elytra at base about 
equal in width to pronotum at middle, rather convex, with a 
slight depression along lateral margin behind the humerus; 
sides parallel to middle, expanded at apical third, then arcuately 
attenuate to the tips, which are separately rounded and finely 
dentate ; surface finely imbricate and rather densely clothed with 
broad white hairs in the male — pale yellow in the female — which 
are interrupted by dark areas sparsely clothed with incon- 
spicuous dark hairs as follows: An oblong spot along lateral 
margin behind the humeri, a diamond-shaped spot behind the 
scutellum, inclosing a spot of white hairs, a broad transverse 
band a little behind the middle, with two longitudinal areas ex- 
tending anteriorly on the median part of each elytron and 
obliquely backward along suture for a short distance, a crescent- 
shaped spot on the median part of each elytron at apical fourth, 
and another oblong spot near apex, reaching from lateral margin
