ordinary colour of the insect is bright metallic green; the dark blue colour is therefore 
exceptional or accidental. The Sonora specimen recorded under C. plicata further 
proves to be not the Texan species, but the bright green typical form of C. sapphira. 
The femora are always red to the tips, and black or dusky only at the base.

Mr. Champion’s specimens have less of the purple lustre on the upper surface than is 
usual in Venezuelan examples; the under surface and the sides of the thorax are more 
or less golden coppery. They resemble in colours an individual with which I have 
compared them from Colombia. The examples stated to be from Costa Rica are almost 
exactly conformable to the Venezuelan type, being. purplish above and with the sides 
and under surface of the thorax more or less purple-coppery. Found in Chiriqui at 
elevations of 3000 to 4500 feet; other examples were seen, but not captured, at Pefia 
Blanca flying about the tops of flowering forest-trees. 
Callichroma aureotincta (p. 46). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Vera Cruz (Sallé).
