Occurs in California from San Diego northward, but rarely as far as 

 San Francisco. 



L«. ruficollis, Lee. Ann. Lye. v., 178; Chaud. loc. cit, p. 175. 

 Bears a close resemblance to the preceding species, but the thorax 

 is rufous. Length .24 inch ; 6 mm. 



Occurs also in the region of San Diego, California. 



Ii. marginicollis, Dej. Spec, ii., p. 271; var. affinis Dej. Spec, v., p. 387; 

 limbicollis Motsch. Bull. Mosc. 1859, ii., p. 145 ; var. cupripennis Chaud. Bull. 

 Mosc. 1850, i., p. 75. 



Resembles our more common viridis, but may be known from it and 

 all our other green Lebise by the rather deeply striolate head. In 

 color it more nearly resembles cyanipennis and in fact small specimens 

 of the latter so closely resembles the present that they may readily be 

 mistaken in a series without close observation. The margin of the tho- 

 rax is pale, while the disc is black and but rarely with even the faintest 

 bluish tinge. The variety affinis has the elytral intervals slightly 

 more convex than in the typical form ; var. cupripennis, Ch., occurs 

 in Peru, and, as the name indicates, has the elytra cupreous. Length 

 .17— .20 inch; 4.5—5 mm. 



This species has a wide distribution occuring all over the northern 

 portion of our continent and at Ega. Brazil and in Peru.

This species is too well known to need any comment. Its color is 

 green in all its parts above, or bluish and more rarely dark violet. 

 These variations in color have given rise to the various synonyms 

 above noted. The cyanellus, Motsch., is undoubtedly a Californian 

 specimen of this species, for the author compares it with his own lim- 

 bicollis, while in the comparison between it and cyanipennis he men- 

 tions the same points which really serve to distinguish viridis from 

 cyanipennis, viz. , " Mais elle est plus petite et la tete et le corselet 

 sont d'une couleur bleuatre et non noire." I have, therefore, no hesi- 

 tation in striking this from our list of unknown species. Length .18 

 — .22 inch; 4.5 — 5.5 mm. 



Occurs from Maine to Oregon and as far south as Guatimala.
