9. — Leiifjtli ■2.2 mm. Dull bronzed green; seajie sen eons, the base alone yel- 

 lowish. Legs metallic, the tips of femora, anterior tibise, base and tips of middle

 a deep median emargination ; the following segments all short, the sheaths of the

Hab. — District of Cohimbia. 



This species comes very close to S. amerlcanns, but tlie wider 

 funicuhir joints metallic colored leg's, the tibipe being difierently col- 

 ored, and the longer median .sidcus on the second abdominal segment 

 readily separate it from that species.
