1.00, of 2d, 1.80, of longest (4th) (measured from exposed base of Ist pri-

In some specimens there is an extremely obsolete indication of a 
yellowish spot on lower eyelid, and a yellowish infra-ocular line from 
commissure. The supra-ocular green of side of head is also some- 
times rather paler than the post-ocular portion, in slight contrast, 
and all the green of the side of the head is lighter than that of the 
back. Sometimes the blue of the head is more or less mixed-with 
green. ‘The lores are green like the rest of the side of head. 
This species differs from the type in having the tail shorter, instead 
of a little longer than the wings.
