Type. 6 ? Mus. Wlsm. 
Hab. Florida. Three males and one female, the latter 
unfortunately much broken, but somewhat larger than 
the male, received from the late Mr. Morrison. It is 
difiicult to describe in words the rich colour, combina- 
tions and metallic effects which distinguish this very 
beautiful and remarkable species, it can scarcely be 
regarded as closely allied to any other of the genus.
