THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 2*73 



Euphoria limbalis, n. sp. — Smaller tlian fulgida ; upper surface 

 polished; entire disk of thorax and elytra of a uniform green, rather less 

 brilliant tlian in fulgida; side margins of thorax and elytra brownish 

 testaceous, legs in great part testaceous. Head as \n fulgida; prolhorax 

 with the sides distinctly less strongly convergent from base to apical 

 third, disk more coarsely and numerously punctate, the punctures nearly 

 even in size and distribution throughout ; lateral bead slightly stronger 

 \.\-i?in'\n fulgida. Elytra rather more coarsely punctate than \n fulgida, 

 and with numerous small cretaceous spots. Pygidium entirely testaceous, 

 with four cretaceous spots ; ventral segments more or less tinged with 

 testaceous, the terminal segment entirely of this colour ; first five seg- 

 ments with a cretaceous spot at the lateral margin. Sculpture beneath 

 and legs nearly as m fulgida, except that the ventral seginents are more 

 evidently though very sparsely punctate. 



Length, 12 mm. 



Enterprise, Florida. A single female specimen given me by Mr. 

 Schwa rz. 



Euphoria holochloris, n. sp. — Moderately brilliant green above, 

 slightly darker at sides of elytra and beneath, surface lustre feebly bluish 

  in certain lights, the under side and legs distinctly blue-green, tarsi black; 

 cretaceous spots entirely wanting. Prothorax a little less strongly 

 narrowed from the base and scutellum, less elongate than in fulgida; 

 otherwise nearly as in the latter species. 



Length, 16-17 mm. 



Fort Huachuca, Arizona, 2 (^ 's, i 9 • Kindly given me by Mr. F. 

 S. Daggett, in whose collection are numerous examples, 



I have seen examples of this species in both the LeConte and Horn 

 collections ; in the former it is properly separated, but in the latter it 

 stands with fulgida. Aside from the differences mentioned above, it 

 should be noted that in the male o{ fulgida there is a group of very fine 

 punctures at the middle of the first three or four ventral segments, no 

 trace of which appears in holochloris. 



The statement made by Horn that the upper surface in fulgida is 

 " entirely void of pubescence," is not strictly true, there being, especially 

 on the elytra, numerous very short suberect hairs, which are distinct 

 enough in well-preserved specimens of all the above mentioned species, 

 which may be separated as follows :
