General diagnosis: length 9.0–14.0 mm; head, underside and legs except for tarsi, brownish- or greenish-bronze with coppery reflections; tarsi blue or green; pronotum broadly blue-green, golden-green or coppery in the midline, flanked by a pair of broad reddish-copper, blue-black or blackish-purple admedian vittae, which become narrower anteriorly and are sometimes narrowly edged laterally by the same colour as that of the midline; lateral half grey-bronze or violet-blue; elytra dark bluish-green, deep reddish-violet or violet with the following green, golden-green, golden or reddish-copper markings: a sutural vitta in basal third, a broad slightly sinuate vitta just internal of the humeral callosity in basal third, which narrowly extends along the basal margin to the epipleura; a variably shaped median fascia, not reaching the suture or the lateral margins, but sometimes extended towards the base for a short distance at its lateral edge, and sometimes also extending towards the base at its sutural edge to join the sutural vitta; a large elongate pre-apical macula; head and underside moderately densely clothed with moderately long opaque white pubescence.
