considerably more elongate insect with shorter antenne, different 
color, &c. The female does not differ from the male except in its 
slightly shorter antennz, less dilated basal joint of tarsi, and 
differently formed apical segment of abdomen.

A. consanguinea, sp. nov. Sat elongata, postice sat angustata ; 
nitida ; supra viridis vel cyanea; subtus picea, antennis 
testaceis apicem versus vix vel manifeste infuscatis, femori- 
bus rufo-piceis, tibiis tarsisque dilutioribus ; antennis quam 
corporis dimidium sat brevioribus, articulis basalibus 2 
incrassatis (hoe quam 3" haud longiori); capite cum pro- 
thorace subfortiter vix crebre punctulato, illo haud trans- 
versim carinato ; prothorace sat transverso, antice angustato, 
ad basin utrinque longitudinaliter breviter sulcato, sulcis 
longitudinalibus sulco transverso conjunctis; elytris punc- 
tulato-striatis, puncturis in striis sat magnis, interstitiis 
apicem lateraque versus costiformibus. Long., 11; lat., $1.

This species must be very near A. parvula, Jac., but differs 
from the description of that species in many respects; the legs 
are differently colored ; there is no trace of any transverse ridge 
on its forehead: the interstices of the elytral striz are not 
“costate throughout” but distinctly so only near the lateral 
margins and the apex. I have seen numerous examples of this 
insect, which do not vary inter se except in the upper surface of 
some of them being cyaneous rather than green and the antenne 
being more or less infuscate near the apex.
