HABITAT: New York.
Front of the head green. Eyes brown, large, and placed close together;
behind each are two yellow spots, one round, the other oblong. Thorax
hairy, and of a dirty brownish green; having on the sides two long yellow
spots placed obliquely above one another, the under one being the
shortest. Abdomen flattish, but triangular; in the male blue, but in the
female yellow. Legs black. Wings transparent, with a small brown cloud on
the tip of each; from whence issues along the anterior edge, a slender
black stroke near the middle of each wing. Another small brown cloud
begins on the anterior edge, and reaches about two-thirds cross the wing.
At the base of each, also, a third dark cloud of a longish form seems to
extend from the body near the anterior edge, to almost a third part of
the wing. Between these clouds the males have a remarkable white patch or
spot on each wing, and also another on the abdominal edge of the
posterior ones, all which are not to be discerned in the females.
