 ginate ; hind spur with three spines. 



Augochlora chryseis Sm. 9 (T.). 



First r. n. meets second t. c. ; hind spur with three spines; head 

 and thorax dark blue, becoming a little greenish on hind part of 

 thorax ; area strongly striate ; anterior middle of mesothorax dull 

 and granular between the punctures ; abdomen dark green, no

 ish, almost pollinose, pubescence; no vibrissa?; metathorax sharply 

 truncate, area very closely and finely striate ; mesothorax extremely 

 rugose ; eyes only moderately emarginate; first r. n. joining second 

 s. m. a short distance before its end ; abdomen broad at base as 

 usual. The mesothorax has a sharp edge in front, overlapping pro-
