EUGLOSSA ANALIS. 

 PLATE XIX. Fig. 2. 



THE figure referred to represents a small and very 

 brilliant Euglossa, which we have the pleasure of 

 figuring and describing for the first time. In length 

 it is not quite half an inch, and the wings expand 

 about three quarters of an inch. The head and 

 thorax on the upper side are punctured, and of an 

 intense rich blue ; the clypeus at the sides, labrum 

 and mandibles white ; underside of the thorax rich 

 green ; the surface of the abdomen is finely and 

 closely punctured, the colour purple, the terminal 

 segments being brilliant golden-green, especially on 

 the underside; the wings are slightly stained with 

 brown ; the second submarginal cell receives the 

 first recurrent nerve; the second recurrent nerve 

 being confluent with the nerve which closes the third 



o 



submarginal cell posteriorly; the legs are rich blue 

 and shining, the anterior tarsi with long white pile ; 

 the posterior tibiae are very broad, compressed and 

 punctured, having an impression on the upper edge 

 in the middle, from which an impressed line extends 

 parallel with the edge nearly to the tip ; the basal 

 joint of the tarsi is broadly triangular and com- 

 pressed. 



This beautiful insect is from the collection of the 

 Rev. F. W. Hope, and is a native of Brazil. It is 

 related to the Cnemidium viride of Perty (Del. 

 animal, artic. Brazilice, PI. 28, fig. 9.)
