follows : — Smaller (anterior wing 6nim. long) ; mesotliorax, 

 altliongii dull and excessively densely minutely punctured at 

 sides, smooth and sliining (tinj^ed with j^olden) in middle, 

 with the punctures well separated ; wings di.->tinetly darker 

 ami redder, the tirst r. n. meeting second t.-c. a little on inner 

 side ; inner orbits and upper mar<iin ol clypeus edged with 

 blue; the strong ridges of metathoraeic area longer; first 

 abdominal segment j;reen at base, and with a slight greenish 

 siiade across the middle. Also allied to the Jirazilian 

 A. ivallacei, Ckll., but separated by the densely punctured 

 scnteliuu). The sculpture of the second abdominal segment 

 is intermediate between that of si(/j/(/n/ta and wallacei. 



In Vachal's table this runs to the vicinity of nilitlicoUis, 

 muUiplex, sympleres, and radians. From A. nilidlculiis 

 (Halictus nitidicollis, Vaehal), also from Peru, it differs by 

 the closely punctuied scutellum and sides of mesothorax ; 

 from the others by the smooth relatively sparsely punctured 

 middle of mesothorax. From A. multiplex it is known by 

 the area of mctathorax, which has about as many striie as 

 that of subignita. The margin of the area of metathorax is 

 thick, shining, but very finely granular. The lateral corners 

 of prothorax form angles greater than right angles. The 

 dark fuscous hair of the thorax above, front and vertex, as 

 well as the outer side of the hind tibia;, separates it from 

 some species. The tibife are brilliant green.

Augochlora {Augochloropsis) notophops, sp. n. 



cJ . — Length about 7i mm., anterior wing 6. 



Brilliant shining green, including the legs, except the tarsi^ 

 which are piceous ; head in front and above and thorax above 

 with coarse black hair; face on each side of clypeus, cheeks, 

 pleura, and sides of metathorax with inconspicuous pale 

 oehreous-tinled hair ; mandibles (except obscurely reddish 

 apical part), labrum, and lower margin of clypeus black ; 

 anteniKB black, not very long ; head broader than long, eyes 

 very deeply emarginate ; clypeus prominent, shining, golden- 

 tinted, with strong distinctly separated punctures ; front 

 very densely rugoso-punetate ; corners of prothorax vnth 

 acute prominent angles ; mesothorax densely rugoso-punetate 

 at sides and in front, in certain lights with the appearance 

 of a longitudiuid black shade on each side ; a square space in 

 middle of mesothorax shining, with sparse strong punctures, 

 and dark purple, contrasting loith the surrounding green;
