 part of thorax with thimblelike punctures, the thorax more strongly than the 

 head. Greenish-blue, the abdomen for the most part blue and violaceous, the 

 coxae and femora blue, tinged with green, the tibiae black, the tarsi white; 

 antennae black, the scape testaceous. Pleurae smooth, largely violaceous; wings 

 liyaiine, the nervures black. Eyes brown. Abdominal segments narrowly 

 liandcd with black. Tegulae fuscous. 



Type locality. — Mexico.

This species is unrecognized by the writer. Its nearest known 

 relative is CaUimome tricolor Pliiber, from which it is easily separated 

 by the color of the tibiae. 



It is not known where the type is deposited.
