The elytra of these females measure less than 25 mm. in length, 

 and their abdomens are more arnpliate than shown in the figure of 

 Charpentier and Serville, being 15 mm. across the widest part. The 

 bright colors of the wings and abdomen shown in the figures of Char- 

 pentier are absent in the dried specimens before me.
