articulo terminali, viridi-seneis ; capite fronte et vertice strigoso; thorace brevi, lateribus rotundatis, 

 vermiculato-rugato ; elytris postice late rotundatis, haud profunde indistincte pxmctatis, maculis albis 

 prima humerali, 2da paullo posteriore versus discum, 3tia majore transverso subobliqua discoidali, 4ta 

 parva discoidali posteriore, 5ta et 6ta marginalibus versus apicem. 

 Long. 5 lin. $ . 





Hab. Mexico (Salle).

In form and colours much resembling C. ismenia (Gory), but belonging to a different 







■ ■ 



group. The disposition of the elytral spots approaches that of C. mellyi; but their form 





■ 





is different, and the apical sutural spot is wanting. The insect connects the group 

 semicircularis with the group hydrophoba.

Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca (Boucard, coll. Salle, Edge), Huanchinango (Truqui, coll 



Salle). 



According to the Salle collection, this variable little species is the C. dyssenterica of 

 Chaudoir's Catalogue. In well-preserved examples the borders of the pronotum are 



clothed with white laid hairs, like the middle plates of the breast, the coxae, and the 









sides of the basal segment of the abdomen.

M. de Chandoir, whose synonymy is here followed, and who was the possessor of the 

 type of C. rufiventris of Dejean, queries the locality given by this author. I have seen 

 no Mexican example which exactly agrees in the markings of the elytra with Dejean's
