widened and doubly serrate, but not nearly so much so as the first. Head 

 densely punctured. Scutum apparently smooth, in reality very slightly 

 punctured. Scutellum more coarsely punctured than the head. Abdo- 

 men smooth. Color: Head dark metallic green ; eyes dark brown; 

 antennal scape light yellow brown, rlagellum black with extremely short 

 whitish pile ; scutum dull metallic green, appearing coppery brown in 

 most lights ; scutellum brilliant light metallic green ; sides of the meso- 

 pectus yellowish ; front legs yellowish brown, darker along the upper side, 

 tarsal claw dark brown ; middle legs the same, spine light yellow-brown, 

 serrated edge of first two tarsal joints nearly black ; hind legs all dark 

 brown, lighter underneath. Front wing with a quite well-defined, dusky, 

 transverse band, at the point where the sub-costal vein reaches the costa, 

 and with another transverse band at the point where the stigma is given 

 oft', with its proximal border convex and well-defined, and its distal border 

 shading gradually to a hyaline wing tip. Sub-costal vein reaches costa at 

 one-third the wing length, and the. stigma is given off at two-thirds.

 of same width as thorax and much wider than abdomen. Antennae rather 

 slender, sub-cylindrical, attenuated at tips, somewhat hairy, as long as 

 thorax. Collar normal. Parapsides of scutum distinctly separated. 

 Scutellum so narrowed in front as to be pointed. Middle tibial spur 

 nearly as long as first tarsal joint. Sub-costal vein reaches costa at two- 

 fifths the wing length and gives off stigma at three-fifths. Head with 

 delicate transversely elongate punctures. Thorax with a delicate hexagonal 

 sculpture and sparsely scattered pits, from each of which arises a short 

 hair. Abdomen smooth. Color : Eyes and antennae dark brown ; head, 

 prothorax and mesothoracic scutum dark metallic green ; the rest of the 

 thorax coppery brown ; abdomen dark brown, nearly black, front legs 

 uniform light yellow, except tarsal claw, which is brown ; middle femora 

 yellowish with a brown stripe along upper edge, tibiae yellow with a brown 

 annulation at distal end, spine yellow, first and second tarsal joints yel- 

 low, all others brown ; hind femora brown, proximal half of tibiae yellow,
