labium, gena, and base of mandible green, the first the brightest; 

 clypeus, frons, and epicranium brown with some indefinite darker 

 to black shadings. 



Prothorax light yellowish brown, the middle lobe above with 

 dark or black shadings; posterior border convex. 



Thorax above light yellowish or greenish brown, sides clearer 

 and more yellowish, shading below on the coxae to orange; an 

 ill-defined brown band on the upper three-fourths of the mesepi- 

 sternum, not reaching the upper edge of the sclerite and separated 

 from the middorsal carina by about half the distance it is separated 

 from the humeral suture; middorsal carina narrowly yellow, bor- 

 dered narrowly with black, which black border surrounds the 

 mesepisternum except the upper part of the humeral suture; 

 metastigma placed in a large black spot which extends across the 

 sclerite; a smaller black spot at the angle of the lower border of 

 the metepimeron, and a larger black spot on either side of the 

 poststernum and anterior to the spot at the angle of the lower 

 border of the metepimeron about one-half the distance from this 

 spot to the metasternum lying between and posterior to the last 

 coxae; in the midline, where the poststernum meets the metaster- 

 num, on the anterior end of the metasternum, and, on either side, 

 on the suture just posterior to the last coxae, are black areas; 

 there are also black areas on the pro- and mesosterna; the posterior 

 border of the metepimeron above and below and the extreme 

 posterior border of the poststernum are black edged. 



Abdomen: i bluish green above, shading to greenish yellow 

 on the sides, the dorsal basal half yellow, posterior border black; 

 2 similar, but an ill-defined longitudinal dark bar on either side, 

 most distinct posteriorly; 3 bluish green with the black longitudinal 

 areas on either side distinct and more extensive so the green is 

 confined to a basal ring, a longitudinal middorsal bar, narrowed in 

 the apical fifth or sixth, and a wider longitudinal bar on the ventro- 

 lateral border below the black; 4-7 similar but the black becoming
