 Head and thorax coarsely punctured, and as well as the 

 tibise, femora and basal joints of the antennae blue-green, or 

 blue, varied with tints of green and gold ; the tarsi black, the 

 wings slightly fuscous, the apical margins pale, their nervures 

 dark brown, with the tegulae green. Abdomen of a rich 

 carmine, or red, tinged with golden lustre ; strongly punc- 

 tured, particularly at the base, and having a slight central 

 longitudinal carina ; not toothed at the apex. This species 

 is much more pubescent than any of the preceding. 



Not often met with in the south or west of England, but

 there were many specimens in the collection of Mr. Heysham 

 of Carlisle. 



Sect. III. The marginal cell incomplete, the abdomen not 

 toothed at the apex.
