LEUCOSPIS. 77 



I am not quite sure that the specimens from Nicaragua and Panama are to be referred 

 to L. mexicana, for they differ from the descriptions of the latter in having the abdomen 

 not " strongly metallic green at the apex," and the anterior femora are lined beneath 

 with yellow; otherwise they agree closely enough with Walker's and Cresson's 

 descriptions.

Cresson thinks this may prove to be a variety of L. azteca, from which it differs but 

 little.

Subfam. CHALCIJDINjE. 



According to European writers the species pertaining to this subfamily are to be 

 known by having the posterior femora enlarged and serrated or toothed on the under- 

 side, and the body not metallic. These characters are sufficient for European species, 

 but scarcely so for exotic; for many species allied to Cleonymus and Torymus have 

 similarly constructed femora. The species of Smicra and Chalets (which are the typical 

 genera of the group) are commonest of all the exotic Chalcids.
