358 T. D. A. COCKERELL. 



Augochlora calypso Sm. 9 (T.i. 



Hind spur with many long spines ; vibrissa? very conspicuous, 

 orange, failing in middle of first segment ; wings strongly yellowish ; 

 marginal cell appendiculate, and having the appearance of being 

 very narrowly truncate at apex ; first r. n. joining second t. c. ; 

 second s. m. broad, about square ; inner orbits narrowly edged with 

 blue; disc of scutellum with widely separated punctures on a shining 

 ground ; abdomen with a golden lustre ; all the tarsi dark ferru- 

 ginous. In my table runs to smithiana, but is not that species. 

 Because of the scutellum, etc., my supposed A. calypso (Pr. Phil. 

 Acad., 1900, p. 364) is not that species. It must be described in 

 detail, and given a new name. The two supposed subspecies of 

 calypso (1. c.) must be treated as species, Augochlora cwpreotincta 

 (Ckll.) and A. eucalypso (Ckll.). 



Augochlora viridana Sm. 9 (T.). 



Brilliant green, with purple lights ; abdomen quite hairy, and 

 segments one and two with a very conspicuous marginal band of 

 pale orange cilia ; area of metathorax slightly roughened, not striate ; 

 first r. n. meeting second t. c. ; hind spur with numerous long spines. 

 In Vachal's tables seems to run to A. chorisis (Vach.). 



Augochlora flainniea Sm. 9 {Halictas anthrax Vach.). 



In Vachal's tables runs to anthrax, with the description of which 

 it exactly agrees. Head, thorax and abdomen crimson shaded with 

 greenish-golden ; abdomen quite hairy, with fulvous hair ; hind 

 margins of segments one and two long-ciliate, but the cilia not very 

 conspicuous on account of the other hair ; hind spur with four 

 spines; first r. n. meets second t. c. ; area short, with little longi- 

 tudinal (antero-posterior) ridges ; upper part of sides of metathorax 

 nude, smooth and shining. 



Augochlora n. sp., Smith 9- 



Para. This bears an unpublished name; it was perhaps consid- 

 ered part of A. hebescens. Green, head and thorax with blue shades, 

 abdomen with golden ones ; ciliar bands on margins of segments one 

 and two pale yellow, and extremely distinct and conspicuous ; hind 

 spur with about five spines ; area small, merely rugose ; first r. n. 

 meets second t. c. ; third s. m. at least twice as broad as second. 

 Runs in my table to the " calypso " group.
