  CERATINA 
  REGALIMIMUS, 
  new 
  species 
  

  

  Female. 
  — 
  Length 
  about 
  7 
  mm.; 
  head, 
  thorax 
  and 
  abdomen 
  bright 
  

   pm-ple-blue, 
  legs 
  and 
  antennae 
  black; 
  labrum 
  black; 
  middle 
  of 
  apex 
  

   of 
  clypeus 
  with 
  a 
  rather 
  obscure 
  white 
  spot; 
  mesonotum 
  shining; 
  

   wings 
  hyaline, 
  faintly 
  dusky; 
  no 
  conspicuous 
  hair, 
  except 
  white 
  hair 
  

   on 
  hind 
  tibiae. 
  The 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen 
  resembles 
  that 
  of 
  C. 
  atrata 
  

   H. 
  S. 
  Smith, 
  a 
  black 
  species 
  from 
  British 
  Honduras. 
  The 
  margins 
  

   of 
  the 
  tergites 
  are 
  not 
  black, 
  as 
  they 
  are 
  in 
  C. 
  laeta 
  Spinola.

  This 
  struck 
  me 
  at 
  once 
  as 
  resembling 
  C. 
  regalis 
  Cockerell 
  from 
  

   Guatemala. 
  That 
  species 
  was 
  described 
  from 
  the 
  male, 
  but 
  it 
  does 
  not 
  

   seem 
  possible 
  that 
  this 
  insect, 
  without 
  any 
  green 
  color 
  except 
  on 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  metathorax 
  and 
  the 
  fifth 
  abdominal 
  tergite, 
  can 
  

   be 
  its 
  female.

  Length 
  about 
  12 
  mm.; 
  face 
  dark 
  green, 
  the 
  clypeus 
  with 
  

   a 
  broad 
  elongate 
  yellow 
  mark, 
  and 
  a 
  spot 
  at 
  each 
  lateral 
  lower 
  corner 
  

   (these 
  spots 
  are 
  on 
  the 
  clypeus, 
  not 
  lateral 
  face 
  marks 
  as 
  indicated 
  in 
  

   H. 
  S. 
  Smith's 
  table); 
  mesonotum 
  and 
  scutellum 
  black, 
  with 
  a 
  little 
  

   green; 
  base 
  of 
  metathorax 
  brilliant 
  green; 
  pleura 
  blue, 
  contrasting 
  

   with 
  the 
  green 
  of 
  sides 
  of 
  metathorax; 
  wings 
  dusky; 
  legs 
  black; 
  abdo- 
  

   men, 
  except 
  the 
  first 
  tergite, 
  very 
  rich 
  crimson.

  Cresson 
  

  

  Female. 
  — 
  Length

  8 
  mm.; 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  dark 
  blue, 
  abdo- 
  

   men 
  green; 
  wings 
  reddish; 
  clypeus 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  pale 
  spot. 
  

  

  Male. 
  — 
  Smaller, 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  hat-shaped 
  light 
  mark 
  on 
  clypeus, 
  

   and 
  a 
  little 
  mark 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  eye. 
  

  

  Honduras: 
  Zamorano, 
  December, 
  January 
  (W. 
  P. 
  Cockerell, 
  

   Cisneros). 
  A 
  common 
  species. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Annals 
  and 
  Magazine 
  of 
  Natural 
  History, 
  May 
  1912, 
  I 
  

   recorded 
  both 
  sexes 
  from 
  Lake 
  Amatitlan, 
  Guatemala 
  (W. 
  P. 
  Cocker- 
  

   ell). 
  I 
  described 
  the 
  male, 
  which 
  was 
  unknown 
  to 
  Cresson. 
  Strand, 
  

   assuming 
  that 
  this 
  male 
  was 
  a 
  different 
  species, 
  named 
  it 
  C. 
  nara, 
  

   but 
  this 
  seems 
  quite 
  unnecessary.
