Figure 1. — Anterior tibia of male (A), clypeus (B), and last visible abdominal 

 sternite of male (C) and of female (D) of Chrysotothris cyanella. 



Male. — Narrowly elongate, subcylindrical, slightly depressed above, moderately 

 shining, uniformly bluish green ; beneath violaceous blue, more strongly shining 

 than above, the legs more or less bronzy green. 



Head bronzy green, with two small, smooth callosities on the front and a vague 

 longitudinal carina on occiput; front slightly, transversely depressed behind 

 clypeus ; surface confluently, coarsely, deeply, uniformly punctate, sparsely clothed 

 with long, semierect, white hairs, the intervals densely granulose ; clypeus rather 

 deeply, angularly emarginate in front, arcuately rounded on each side. Antenna 

 bronzy green, robust, short, extending to middle of pronotum, slightly narrowed to 

 apex ; intermediate segments wider than long, broadly rounded at outer margins ; 

 third segment subequal in length to the fourth. 



Pronotum twice as wide as long, subequal in width at base and apex, widest at 

 middle ; sides parallel at middle, arcuately converging toward apical angles, 

 obliquely converging posteriorly and vaguely constricted near posterior angles; 

 anterior margin rather strongly sinuate, with a broad, strongly rounded, median 

 lobe ; base slightly, arcuately emarginate on each side, the median lobe slightly 

 produced and broadly rounded ; disk convex, with a vague median depression, and
