  Apparently 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  last 
  species, 
  but 
  considerably 
  smaller, 
  

   with 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  differently 
  colored. 
  

  

  AUGOCHLORA 
  CENTRALICOLA, 
  new 
  species 
  

  

  Female. 
  — 
  Length 
  about 
  5 
  mm.; 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  bright 
  green, 
  

   abdomen 
  darker 
  green; 
  clypeus 
  polished, 
  supraclypeal 
  area 
  with 
  a 
  

   polished 
  spot; 
  front 
  dull, 
  but 
  a 
  polished 
  spot 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  base 
  of 
  

   antennae; 
  antennae 
  black, 
  the 
  flageUum 
  faintly 
  brownish 
  beneath 
  

   except 
  at 
  base; 
  inner 
  orbits 
  emarginate; 
  mesonotum 
  polished, 
  as 
  also 
  

   scutellum; 
  area 
  of 
  metathorax 
  shining, 
  with 
  weak 
  striae; 
  tegulae 
  dark; 
  

   wings 
  hyaline, 
  slightly 
  grayish; 
  stigma 
  brown; 
  nervures 
  rather 
  pale; 
  

   first 
  recurrent 
  nervure 
  interstitial; 
  legs 
  black 
  at 
  base, 
  anterior 
  knees 
  

   broadly, 
  tibiae 
  and 
  tarsi 
  pale 
  yellowish; 
  middle 
  and 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  and 
  

   tarsi 
  pale 
  ; 
  hind 
  spur 
  simple 
  ; 
  abdomen 
  short, 
  highly 
  polished, 
  without 
  

   bands 
  or 
  patches 
  of 
  hair. 
  

  

  A 
  male 
  is 
  quite 
  similar; 
  the 
  mandibles 
  are 
  slightly 
  but 
  obscurely 
  

   pallid; 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  hind 
  femora, 
  seen 
  from 
  behind, 
  are 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  

   reddish; 
  the 
  abdomen 
  is 
  practically 
  black 
  beyond 
  the 
  first 
  tergite. 
  

  

  I 
  cannot 
  identify 
  this 
  with 
  any 
  of 
  Friese's 
  Costa 
  Rica 
  species.

  There 
  is 
  some 
  resemblance 
  to 
  Halictus 
  exiguus 
  Smith, 
  but 
  the 
  abdo- 
  

   men 
  is 
  quite 
  different 
  (see 
  Ellis, 
  Jo 
  urn. 
  New 
  York 
  Ent. 
  Soc, 
  vol. 
  11, 
  

   p. 
  219). 
  

  

  I 
  had 
  at 
  first 
  listed 
  this 
  as 
  an 
  Augochlora, 
  but 
  later 
  I 
  thought 
  it 
  

   should 
  go 
  in 
  Chloralictus; 
  a 
  closer 
  examination, 
  especially 
  of 
  the 
  eyes, 
  

   indicates 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  an 
  Augochlora. 
  I 
  cannot 
  identify 
  it 
  with 
  any 
  of 
  

   Vachal's 
  species. 
  Two 
  were 
  taken 
  February 
  24.
