DITROPINOTUS AUREOVIRIDIS 1

Fig. a.—Diiropinolus aureoviridis: Adult male. Greatly enlarged. 
Fig. 3.— Ditropinotus aureoviridis: Adult female. Greatly enlarged. 
the species Ditropinotus flavicoxus, basing his species on the very light 
coloration of the coxae. Since publishing this description Mr. Gahan 
thinks it possible that D . flavicoxus may be only a varietal form of D. 
aureoviridis. The present writers have never reared a typical specimen
