with the sides slightly elevated, and the fore margin is 

 rather deeply emarginate,, the edges finely black ; the 

 antennae and eyes are black. The prothorax above is 

 entire, without any trace of punctures, the lateral 

 margins are dilated from behind the eyes ; the posterior 

 half of each lateral margin is suddenly angulated and 

 rather deeply emarginate, leaving the apical angle rather 

 acute. Beneath, the sides of the head are clothed with 

 pale buff pile, as is also the whole of the under side of 

 prothorax, except a small black central dot in front of 

 the mesosternal point. The whole of the meso- and meta- 

 sterna are clothed with pale buff pile (as are also the 

 broad flat coxae), except the slightly porrected sternal 

 point, which is extended backwards to the base of the 

 hind legs, and is of a brilliant green colour. This is 

 also the colour of the abdomen, except the lateral part 

 of each segment and two triangular spots on the podex, 

 which are clothed with pale pile. The fore legs have 

 the femora greatly incrassated, clothed in front with 

 pale pile, but otherwise brilliant green, with two small 

 black spines on the fore edge near the extremity, and 

 two other very minute ones towards the base of the front 

 margin ; the tibiae are green above, nearly black beneath, 

 narrow, with a small black hooked spine at the apex, 

 the inner edge clothed with fine pale hairs ; the tarsi 

 are slender and black : the four hind legs are rather 

 small, green beneath and black above, the middle tibiae 

 are slightly attenuated at a little distance from the distal 

 extremity, and in the two posterior tibiae, in the same 

 position, is a small oval excavation bearing a brush of 

 fine fulvous hairs. The two spines at the apex of the 

 tibiae are distinct but small. The sternal point of the 

 mesosternum is small, triangular, and scarcely produced 

 into a lateral angle. 



The maxillfe of the male are terminated by a small 

 acute horny point densely clothed with hairs, and the 

 mentum has the middle of its fore margin produced into 

 two obtuse flattened lobes, rather rounded at the tips. 

 The abdomen of the male has the two basal segments 

 with a slight central dej)ression. 



The female oi A. Stanleyanais entirely desiitnie of the 

 fine coat of pale bufl'-coloured pile with which the male is 

 adorned. It is rather smaller than the male ; it is of a glossy 

 bright green colour, the front of the head rather strongly
