SUPPLEMENT.

Numerous examples, agreeing with Texan specimens of P. viridicollis, Lee, in form 

 and in the possession of wings, but differing in their constant dark blue colour with 

 violet reflections, especially on the elytra. Similar specimens, rather more finely 

 punctured, occur near Mexico city and at Las Vigas.

METABOLA (p. 221).

2. Metabola vivida, n. 



sp 



■ 



Laete fulvo-rufa ; capite, elytrorum margine basali (circa scutellum ampliato) et fascia latissima ante apicem 

 viridi-cyaneis ; antennis nigris, basi et apice rufescentibus ; pedibus nigris, femoribus basi tibiisque extus 

 flavo-testaceis ; capite grosse passim punctato ; thorace ruguloso et minus grosse sparsim punctato ; elytris 

 sat acute punctulato-striatis, interstitiis planis punctulatis. 



Long. 6 millim. 



Hal. North Ameeica, Arizona. — Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison). 



Agrees with Metabola rufopyga in all the characters in which that species differs 

 from the true Lebice, except that the palpi are not so broadly truncated and the 

 antennae not so stout. The thorax has more distinctly explanated and reflexed lateral 



■ 



margins, and is much more finely punctured ; the head, on the contrary, is rather more 

 coarsely punctured, and the elytral striae more deeply impressed. The species connects 

 Metabola with Lebia. Dr. Horn informs me that this species is new to him, and I 

 infer that it has not been described.
