Thorax with the middle of the dorsum black, with metallic violet reflections; this black dorsal color shows on each side a broad interruption at the thoracic suture; it gradually disappears in front of the scutellum; a more or less large greenish-black spot on the pleura. I have a pale-colored specimen in which the black on the thorax in replaced by faint indication of two longitudinal brownish stri-
