That author adds to his good description and excellent figures 
interesting data on the life history and habits of the species.

These specimens agree closely in all respects with the type, 
except that the green of the tegmina and wings is much less brilliant 
and also much less extensive. Tegmina with proximal portion 
of humeral trunk light paris green, other portions of dorsal field 
suffused with dull blackish, a weak greenish tinge showing be- 
tween the veins. Wings with proximal two-thirds of area be- 
tween mediastine and discoidal (humeral) veins, and all of area 
between discoidal and median veins, light paris green, remaining 
dorsal portion of anterior field suffused with Idackish lirown, 
showing a subobsolete tinge of greenish between the veins. In 
other respects the tegmina and wings are colored exactly as in 
the type.

The sjiecimen here recorded, though the apex of the abdomen 
is missing, is evidently a male, the first of the sex of the splendid 
spi'cies to be recorded. 
The coloi’ation is more brilliant than tlescrilied for the t 3 'pe 
fi'inale. Head, thorax, abdomen and cephalic limbs ochraceous- 
““ Like many of tlie early specimens of Natural History labelled “Bogotd, ” 
the type of this species certainly did not come from that city or its immediate 
vicinity. It was probably taken at a much lower altitude to the east and very 
possibly at, or near, Villavicencio.
