This genus is represented by a single specimen taken in the Honolulu Mts. in 

 1900. It is a beautiful species with shining metallic green thorax, coppery scutellum 

 and abdomen metallic bluish purple with green margin. The wings have the first 

 posterior cell closed and stalked. Possibly an introduction from the West Indies

 in describing it as new.
