than the abdomen ; but sometimes shorter than the distance between the tip of 

 the latter and tlie basis of the wings. Wings liyaline. 



%. Like the 9 > but less yellow at the tip of the fore coxfe; face more green 

 than yellowish-green; hind femora with a metallic green reflection and a green 

 stripe on the underside j the basis of the abdomen blue, its latter half cojtpery 

 or purplish. 



Several S and $ specimens reared from the gall of Jihodttes dichlo- 

 ccro^, Harris. 



31 r. Norton's collection contained several males distinguished from 

 the preceding by the hind femora being green in the middle. They 

 may belong to the same species, as I do not perceive any other differ- 

 ence. 



(t. C. solitaria, n. sp. — Pale green, abdomen with a brassy tinge, hind bor- 

 ders of the segments somewhat bluish-green; feet yellow; ovipositor as long or 

 longer than the body. — 9 ^'jout 0.12; ovipositor about 0.13 of an inch long. 



9 ■ Head with golden reflections; thorax pale green. (If the green color of 

 C. chri/socldora may be compared to that of Cicindela higuttaia, Fab., the shade 

 of green of the present species is more like that of Chlcenius soUtarius, Say). 

 Abdomen green, with a yellowish, brassy, or somewhat coppery reflection, the 

 hind margins of the segments being bluish green. The description of the 

 sculpture of the preceding species can be applied to this. The scutellum is 

 more flattened, less convex than C. chrysochlora. Fore femora green, yellow at 

 the tip; hind femora green in the middle with a yellowish-brassy tinge, 

 green along the borders. Feet yellow, knees and tarsi pale. Wings hya- 

 line. 



Three 9 specimens reared from a rose gall (either Jilioditcs radicnm 

 or the rose gall described as No. 5, in the Proc. Entom. Soc. Phil. 

 1863, p. 42, as both galls were mixed in the same bos).
