primutn versicolor, cupreo seneo viridique niicans : scapus flavus, 

 apice aeneo-fuscus : femora fulva, postica fusca : alae anticae 

 ramulum prope stigraaticalem fuscescentes. (Alarum longitudo,

The paraptera of the mesothorax are gveen : the basal 

 abdominal segment, and the posterior coxee, have a brilliant 

 gold colour, changing to cupreous or green, according to the 

 direction in which they are viewed : the posterior thighs have

 superiores antice subfuscse. (Alarum longitudo, 3 lin.) 



The head and thorax, being seen in different directions, 

 vary in colour from green to cupreous, occasioned probably by 

 the punctures having cupreous bases, while their sides and 

 edges are green : the metathorax is golden green, as likewise
