spot from the opposite side ; mandibles white, with black tips ; palpi 

 black, the maxillary 5-jointed with the joints increasing in length api- 

 cally; labial 3-jointed. 



Pronotum coarsely confluently punctate, with a deeply impressed 

 transverse line which marks off sharply its anterior third; behind this 

 with a deep median groove; aeneous in color, with the central portion 

 bright green, with a small median quadrate yellowish spot anteriorly, 

 and on the posterior margin with a narrow band of the same color 

 that widens laterally and extends over the lateral angles. Mesonotum 

 much more sparsely punctate than the pronotum, with four parallel 

 furrows, the lateral ones abbreviated anteriorly ; distinctly purple, with 

 the posterior third of the median lobe ferruginous; tegulae bright me- 

 tallic purple. Scutellum smooth, with a few small scattered punctures, 

 ferruginous ; postscutellum ferruginous, with a black, truncate poster- 

 ior margin and a few large punctures on the disc. Metanotum black, 

 coarsely, irregularly rugose, narrowed behind by converging lateral 

 carinas into a more or less shield-shaped form with subtruncate poster- 

 ior margin; lateral angles strongly produced, white. 



Abdomen minutely punctulate on the first two segments ; closel> 

 punctate beyond ; aeneous anteriorly, but with green and bluish re- 

 flections beyond the second segment; basal half of first segment and 

 anterior lateral corners, much enlarged below on the sides, of second, 

 yellowish white ; venter with second and first segment, except its pos- 

 terior margin, whitish. 



Propleurae whitish except for a large black fovea above, confluently 

 punctate; mesopleura confluently punctate, metallic green, metapleura 

 below the spine with a few coarse, vertical rugae. 



Legs aeneous, whitish at the incisures of the trochanters, and on the 

 anterior tibiae inwardly at tip. 



Anterior wings infuscated at base over most of the submedian and 

 half of the basal cell, and also beyond the beginning of the stigma, 

 this spot growing much weaker toward the wing tip; basal and sub- 

 median cells completely enclosed by very strong nervures and radial 

 cell nearly closed, although the radial vein suddenly becomes weak be- 

 yond its middle; transverse median nervure not broken; base of cubi- 

 tus indicated by a hyaline streak; hind wing weakly infuscated on 

 apical half. 



One specimen, which is very probably a male, from Bar-
