  (Dorothy

  A 
  male, 
  Zamorano, 
  March 
  (Adan 
  Rivera) 
  seems 
  to 
  belong 
  here; 
  it 
  

   has 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  bright 
  green, 
  the 
  abdomen 
  with 
  five 
  broad 
  

   black 
  bands 
  (the 
  last 
  strongly 
  greenish) 
  alternating 
  with 
  yellow 
  ones 
  

   (reddened 
  by 
  cyanide 
  in 
  the 
  specimen). 
  The 
  mouth 
  parts 
  are 
  yellow, 
  

   and 
  the 
  long 
  flagellum 
  is 
  orange 
  beneath 
  and 
  black 
  above; 
  the 
  legs 
  are 
  

   yellow, 
  including 
  the 
  femora, 
  but 
  the 
  middle 
  tibiae 
  have 
  an 
  elongated 
  

   black 
  mark 
  near 
  the 
  base, 
  and 
  the 
  hind 
  knees 
  are 
  black. 
  

  

  In 
  Vachal's 
  key 
  this 
  runs 
  nearest 
  to 
  A. 
  radiatus 
  Say. 
  It 
  is 
  perhaps 
  

   to 
  be 
  considered 
  a 
  subspecies 
  of 
  radiatus. 
  However, 
  the 
  abdomen 
  of 
  

   this 
  male 
  has 
  five 
  yellow 
  bands 
  (six 
  in 
  A. 
  radiatus).
