3. C. splendida. Bright green ; disk of the elytra crimson or purple, 
with a submarginal subtriangular transverse line near the middle, and a 
terminal transverse line ; whole margin green. 
Length 6-10th of an inch. 
Inhabits North Carolina. Swarming in April. 
This species 1s closely related to C. marginals of Fab. C. purpurea of 
Olivier, and chiefly so to the variety 6 of Mr. Say; but several reasons 
have induced me to consider it as a distinct species. The thorax of C. | 
marginals is sensibly transverse, in this species it is less so, and with the 
head entirely bright green: C. marginalis is quite hairy, this is slightly 
so. The former inhabits usually shady places near or in the [255] 
grass; C. splendida is always found on barren dry clay or sand. The 
middle line is sometimes wanting, sometimes the terminal one is obsolete; 
and I have observed two specimens with a humeral whitish spot. 
[This is a variety of C. purpurea Oliv. | 
LEBIA. 
4. L. grandis. Ferruginous; elytra purple, venter piceous; thorax 
remarkably transverse, posterior angles sharp, nearly rectangular. 
Length rather more than g-2oths of an inch. 
Inhabits North Carolina, 
The remarkable size of this species will be sufficient to distinguish it 
from L. a¢riventris, Say, which is very much resembles; but it is nearly 
twice as large, being, I believe, enormous for this genus. The head is © 
darker than the thorax, and the striz of the elytra are deeper than in L, 
atrwentris. 1 have never seen but two specimens, found at night, attract- 
ed by the light. 
5. L. dorea. Head dark green; disk of the thorax, tarsi, lower ends 
of the tibia, knees, and anterior thighs, piceous: elytra green, substriate; 
postpectus and venter ferruginous. 
Length rather more than 5-2oths of an inch. 
Inhabits Massachusetts. 
This insect cannot be mistaken for L. ¢ricolor of Mr. Say. The strize 
of the elytra cannot be seen by the naked eye, but with alens they ap— 
pear to be punctured and regular, though superficial The margin of 
the thorax is ferruginous; the middle part of the tibia and upper part of 
the two posterior pairs of thighs are testaceous. ‘The three first joints of 
the antenne are ferruginous, darkening upwards, the rest are black. 
[This is L. wiredipennis Dej. ] [256]
