Habitat.—- Venezuela. 



Male. — The only difference which I can see between this 

 species and S. erythronota is the colour of the top of the head 

 which is metallic golden-green. I have one fine male specimen 

 which has the whole of the underside metallic golden-green r 

 but this variety of colour exists also in S. erythronota. 



Female. — Less brilliantly coloured than the male, with the 

 central parts of abdomen and lower parts of flank grayish.
