A REVISION OF NORTH AMERICAN CHRYSOBOTHRINI 



231 



Male. — Differing from the female in having the front of the head purple at 

 middle, bright green on occiput, and bronzy green on clypeus and along lateral 

 margins, the antenna bronzy cupreous, and the sides of the sternites bright 

 green. 



Type locality. — Key West, Fla. 



DISTRIBUTION 



From material examined: 



Florida: Key West, type, April 4 (E. A. Schwarz). 



Cuba: Cayamas, May 23 (E. A. Schwarz). Camaguey, July 20, 1932 (M. Jaume). 



Host. — Unknown. 



The specimens examined show very little variation, except in size, 

 ranging in length from 4.25 to 5.5 mm. In one of the specimens 

 from Cuba the basal and antemedian fasciae on the elytra are not 

 connected to each other along the lateral margins. 



This species resembles small specimens of, chrysoela Illiger, but it 

 differs from that species in having the sides of the clypeus obliquely 

 truncate, the eyes narrowly separated on the occiput, the pronotum 

 arcuately rounded at the sides, the last visible abdominal sternite 

 broadly rounded at the apex in both sexes, and a bright-green spot 

 at the apex of each elytron.
