CHRYSIS. 475 



ffab. Eecorded so far only from Sikhim (Harmand) ; I got it at 

 Eungaroon, 7000 ft., near Darjiling. It will probably be found 

 throughout the Himalayas. It is a very widespread species, 

 occurring also in. North America.

Hob. Central Provinces (Beiliam)\ Western India, Bombay 

 ( Wrouyhton} ; Upper Burma, Mandalay, Meiktila (Binyhain). 

 Described originally from Saraks in Central Asia. 



I have described the form found in Burma. It seems to be a 

 variable and widely-spread species. The Central Asian specimens 

 according to Eadoszkowski are a bright green with the scutellmu 

 golden green. One Mandalay specimen has the scutellum slightly 

 golden.
