from all other species with black feet, by its smaller size, and by 

 its color, which is not black-green, but pure green. 



25. G. clialcoclirus, nov. sp. $ and J . J3neo-viridis, nitens, 

 antennis nigris, pedibus flavis, coxis omnibus, prseter apicem, lamellisque 

 hypopygii nigris. 



Metallic green, shining ; antennae black ; feet yellow, all the coxae with the 



exception of the tip and the lamellae of the hypopygium black. 

 Long. corp. 0.150.16. Long. al. 0.150.16. 



Metallic green, shining. Antenna entirely black; the third 

 joint short, with a not easily perceptible pubescence. Front 

 covered with white dust. Face of the $ ochre-yellow, sometimes 

 rather brownish-yellow, that of the 9 grayish-white ; cilia of the 

 inferior orbit black. Upper side of the thorax covered with gray 

 or brown-gray dust, which is distinctly visible, when the upper 

 side of the thorax is looked at in an oblique direction. Fore 

 coxae blackened as far as the middle or nearly as far as the tip ; 

 the four hind coxae yellow only at the tip. Feet yellow ; tarsi 

 from the tip of the first joint strongly colored with brown or 

 blackened, the crescent-shaped lamellae of the hypopygium black. 

 Wings tinged with blackish-gray and with brownish-black veins.

Observation. The female has, in the plastic characters, much 

 in common with the female of G. spectabilis, of which I have now 

 three specimens ; but the latter is somewhat larger, and the third 

 and fourth longitudinal veins of the wings seem to be somewhat 

 closer to each other ; I cannot, therefore, believe that G. spectabi- 

 lis is only a variety in color of G. chalcochrus, and hope that my 

 view will be sustained through the discovery of the still unknown 

 male of G. spectabilis. 



26. G. coxalis LOEW. . JSneo-viridis, nitens, antennis nigris, 

 coxis omnibus prseter apicem nigris, pedibus lamellisque hypopygii

Metallic green, shining ; antennae black ; all coxae, with the exception of 

 the tip, black ; the feet and the lamellae of the hypopygium yellow ; the 

 last joint of the fore tarsi of the male not enlarged.
