CALLIDA, D V \ 



The species of this genus are separated by Chaudou into two genera, 

 Callida and Spongoloba by characters of very feeble value; according to 

 which C. decora belongs to the first, and C. punctata to the second ge- 

 nus. Dr. Horn leaves them in one genus and tabulates them as follows: 



Upper side of tarsi flattened and more or less distinctly sulcate or impressed. 

 Body above uniformly colored. 



Color piceous or castaneous, feebly striate piatyrioides. n.sp. 



Piceous. elytra with slight cupreous tinge piaiiulata. Lee. 



Bright blue or green viridipeiinis. Say. 



Body above bicolored; thorax red, elytra blue or green decora. Fab. 



Upper side of tarsi convex, not sulcate nor impressed. 



Body above bicolored: thorax red, elytra blue or green punctata. Lee. 



Body bright blue or green. 

 Elytra distinctly longer than the head and thorax, their surface moderately striate 



with slightly convex intervals flll^ida. I )c i- 



Elytra not longer than the head and thorax, their surface very finely striate with 



flat intervals purpurea. Say.
