Male.—Length, 2.1" (estimating abdomen as one-third length of 
body); expanse, 4.1"; greatest width of fore wing 0.58"". Face with 
sparse whitish pubescence, finely shagreened, with sparse shallow 
punctures; cheeks shagreened, but without the pubescence or the 
punctures which end abruptly at the faintly indicated genal sulcus; 
mesonotum finely and closely shagreened, without punctures. General 
color metallic green, with slight purplish luster at vertex; mesopleura 
brilliant purple, metallic green at base; antennal scape honey-yellow, 
pedivel and flagellum black; front and middle femora brown, tibiz 
lighter, tarsi very light, middle tibial spur concolorous with tarsi; hind 
femora black with metallic reflections, tibie very dark brown, lighter 
at ends, tarsi light brown; fore wings fuscous, with brown pubescence, 
but with two irregular, wedge-shaped, white patches, the one with its 
base upon the costa immediately beyond the stigmal vein, and the 
other with its base upon the anal margin immediately opposite, their 
apices nearly meeting in the middle of the wing; basal one-fifth of the 
wing hairless, with a small distal patch of white pubescence, to which 
comes obliquely a hairless streak from the marginal vein; veins dark 
brown, the origin of the stigmal almost obscured by the brown pube-
