related species, this varies to a form with rather less massive 

 head, and head and thorax mainly Prussian green, the thorax 

 bright green with only a blackish shade down n^iiddle of 

 mesothorax, and the sides of the face bright green, especially 

 close to the antennae.

Very close to A. nigrocyanea, CklL, from Mexico, but 

 lateral ocelli not nearly as far apart as distance of either 

 from eye, and the details of colour and sculpture differing 

 in several particulars. In Brazil there is a very similar 

 species, A. francisca, Schrottky, which lacks the tooth on 

 the first ventral segment. This closely resembles A. thetis, 

 Schrottky, from Paraguay, which has the tooth and is a 

 true Oclontochlora. 



Augochlora (^Oxystoglossd) bodkini, sp. n. 

 ? . — Length about 9 mm., anterior wing slightly over 6. 



Head and thorax green ; abdomen black, with strong 

 green tints at sides of first three segments and a subapical 

 green band on third ; head and thorax above with hair 

 mixed dark and light ; head broad, eyes strongly emargi- 

 nate and converging below ; supraclypeal area dull and 

 granular ; clypeus shining, strongly but not densely punc-

 in middle : labrum black; mandibles bideutate, obtuse, 

 bright chestnut-red in middle; cheeks broad, shiniug, 

 with sharp posterior margin; flagellum ferruginous beneath, 

 except at base ; angles of pronotum prominent, but greater 

 than a right angle ; mesothorax entirely yellowish green,

 sculptured, depressed in middle; area of metathorax covered 

 with very fine but distinct radiating stride which reach the 

 margin, those near the middle strongly curved ; pleura

 tegulse ferruginous. AVings dusky^ quite dark; stigma 

 reddish brown, dull, nervures fuscous : first recurrent

 middle knees, basal third of anterior tibiae in front, and tarsi

 denticulate) ; scopa of hind legs pale. Abdomen with the
