is of (lie same color; its tip and the remaining joints are black. 

 The hind tibiae are black ; upon their upper side, from the base 

 beyond the middle, clayish-yellow ; towards their tip but little 

 thickened; the first joint of the hind tarsi is covered with many 

 thorn-like bristles. Tegulse with whitish cilia. Wings entirely 

 hyaline, towards the base somewhat wedge-shaped, with a black 

 spot which occupies their very tip. The costa is hardly thickened 

 near the tip of the first longitudinal vein ; the end of the fourth 

 longitudinal vein converges towards the third.

Dark green. Face proportionally rather broad, white. An- 

 tenmn black, third joint short. Front metallic green. Cilia on 

 the inferior orbit white. Femora black, with a greenish reflection, 

 their extreme tip brownish-yellow ; on the under side of the hind 

 femora the hairs are somewhat longer than in the related species, 

 and of such a kind as to lead to the supposition that the male has 

 the hind femora ciliated with black. Tibia? yellow, the tip of the 

 hind ones black ; this black coloring occupies on the anterior side 

 perhaps the fourth, on the hind side nearly the third part. On 

 the four anterior tarsi the four last joints, including the tip of the 

 first joint, are black; the hind tarsi are entirely black; their first 

 joint is as long as the second, upon its upper side with two bris- 

 tles, and upon its under side with one. Cilia of the tegulse black. 

 Wings hyaline.
