which is nearly as wide as the brown humeral stripe. Sides of thorax 

 green, a reddish brown band occupying nearly all of the metepisternum, 

 and the anterior edge of the metepimeron, or merely forming a rather 

 wide stripe on both sides of the second lateral suture. Tip of the vertex 

 pale green, face bright green : the superior, curved, transverse groove of 

 the anterior surface of the frons not filled with dark brown or black. 

 Male with the third abdominal segment but very faintly constricted, the 

 inferior appendage reaching to one-half the length of the superiors. Fe- 

 male with the four blackish spots on abd. seg. 2 transversely elongated, 

 and the abdominal appendages extremely long. Abdomen (excl. apps.*)

Dorsum of thorax in life bright green, a line on each side of the me- 

 dian carina and a short, oblique, almost transverse, antehumeral line, 

 brown. Sides of thorax green, brown confined to lines on the humeral 

 and second lateral sutures. Tip of vertex pale green, face bright green ; 

 the superior, curved, transverse groove on the anterior surface of the 

 frons not filled with black or dark brown (except in one Cuban 9 which 

 otherwise agrees with typical virens]. Male with the third abdominal 

 segment slightly constricted, the inferior appendage reaching to about 

 three-fifths of the length of the superiors. Female with the four blackish 

 spots on abd. seg. 2 nearly square, and the abdominal appendages mod- 

 erately long. Abdomen (excl. app.) $ 50-57, 9 51-64; sup. apps. $ 5- 

 6-5, 9 7 (?) ; width of head $ 9 10-11 ; hind wings $ 50-56, 9 51-60; 

 pterostigma of front wings $ 9 4- 5-5-5- 



Hab. Georgia (?), Cuba, Isle of Pines, Hayti, Trinidad, 

 Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Amazons, Bolivia. I have seen 

 material from seven of these localities, details for which and 

 for adnexa will be given in the Biologia Centrali-Americana. 



C. adnexa Hagen. 



Thorax as described above for virens. Tip of vertex blackish (green 

 in two Mexican females), face bright blue (<^) or green (9). the black 

 T-spot of the frons extending on the anterior surface and filling up the 

 superior, curved, transverse groove thereon (except in the Mexican ex- 

 amples). Male with the third abdominal segment slightly constricted, 

 the inferior appendage reaching to one-third the length of the superiors. 



* Contrary to my usual custom, I give the length of the abdomen for 

 these species exclusive of the appendages, since the latter are so fre- 

 quently broken off in the Aeschninae. P. P. C.
