Genus ACHBYSOCHABELLA Girault. 



The species grouped under the naked name Chrysocharella belong here. 



1. ACHRYSOCHARELLA ^)NEA Girault. 

 Genotype of Neochrysocharella described later. Preoccupied by Chrysocharella amea. 

 A. cenea is A. cenella new name. 



2. ACHRYSOCHARELLA PULCHRELLA new species. 



Female: — Length, 2.10 mm. Long, the abdomen nearly twice the length of the thorax. 

 Probably referable to Neochrysocharella. 



Very similar to Achrysocharis pulchra Girault but the scutellum is all metallic green 

 except the lateral and distal margins and only the caudal third of each parapside is orange 

 yellow. Also the dorsal aspect of each axilla is metallic green and the central spot on dorsal 

 abdomen forms a second cross-stripe (in pulchra and magnifica the spot is not large and the 

 stripe proxhnad of it more obscure but it seems to be present constantly). Apex of abdomen 

 more broadly black or dark metallic (about distal fifth). Propodeum dark metallic green. Legs 

 and scape white. A rather broad dark metallic stripe down venter of abdomen on each side of 

 median line and there are various metallic markings on thoracic venter. Scutum coarsely scaly, 

 scutellum finely, longitudinally lineolated, propodeum smooth, noncarinate, scaly laterad of 

 spiracle. Axilla? advanced. Parapsidal furrows half complete from cephalo-lateral angle of 

 scutum. Mandibles bidentate. Distal third of scape and flagellum dusky black. Pedicel 

 slightly longer than funicle 2 which is longest of the funicle and club, nearing twice longer 

 than wide. Club 1 somewhat longer than funicle 1, all club joints longer than wide. Terminal 

 spine distinct. 



From one female caught in forest uplands, May 3, 1914 (A. P. Dodd).
