 the Ç . The only example I have seen has the thorax tinged with green 

 anteriorly ; tlie tegulae are also green, as is also the upper margin of the 

 posterior tibi« ; the anterior tarsi have the usual pubescent fringe on their 

 inner margin : the face has no pale markings.

Was Smith 1874 (p. 445) mit der Beschreibung eines cf (als hmllri) 

 mit grünem Thorax und grüner Oberseite der Hinterschienen meint, ist 

 vor der Hand nicht zu erklären. Mir liegt ein Pärchen von Miarthüt und 

 'Colmuliid vor, 3 cf (1 Type) von Columbia (coli. Saussure), 1 cf von
