BRITISH CHRYSIDIDiE. 165 



Sp. 4. Chr. Stoudera. 



Jurine, PI. 12. F. 9. 

 Spinola, II. 169. 14. 



Head, first joint of antennae, thorax, first segment of abdomen, and 

 a large semicircular spot at the centre of the base of the second 

 segment, of a metallic green or blue, splashed occasionally with 

 gold, the remainder of the abdomen of a golden red : the terminal 

 teeth as in my Far. 6 of Chr, ignita : wings slightly clouded ; 

 nervures piceous, legs metallic green or blue : tarsi black or 

 piceous : sculpture as in Var. 6 of Chr. ignita. (Length, 3f 

 lines ; expansion of wings, 6\ lines.) 

 Mr. Stephens, to whom I am indebted for this insect, tells 



me, he used to take it formerly at Darenth ; I know no other 



locality where it has occurred. 



Sp. 5. Chr. analis. 



Spinola, Ins. Lig. 11.26. No. 26. 



Deeply punctured : the abdomen without the central, smooth, longi- 

 tudinal, and elevated line : head, thorax, legs (except the tarsi, 

 which are reddish), and third segment of the abdomen, of a me- 

 tallic blue or green, splashed with gold : the first and second 

 segments of the abdomen of a golden red, the apex of the third 

 with four teeth. (Length, 3 lines.) 



" The only British specimen of this beautiful insect I have 

 seen, was certainly taken at Yarm, by me." (Note of T. Meynell, 

 jun. Esq. to the Rev. G. T. Rudd, to whose kindness I am 

 indebted for a sight of the insect, and for being able to describe 

 it.) It is singular that the name Mr. Rudd proposed for it 

 should agree with that which I subsequently discovered Spi- 

 nola had applied to it. I have seen a foreign specimen of it 

 in the collection of Mr. Curtis, taken by him at Rouen, in 

 Normandy.
