A common and widely-distributed Central- American species, as yet unrecorded from 



gion south of Costa Rica or north of Mexico 



C. ocellata and C. incerta are insig 



nificant aberrations, in which the yellow spots are either feeble and encircled by a dark 

 ring, or totally obsolete ; they occur with the type form in most localities in Mexico ; 



C. humeralis diverges considerably from the type, being rather larger and having 



well 



developed examples, the basal spots united as a humeral lunule, and the two 

 discoidal spots joined to form an oblique fascia, which is sometimes connected on the 



with a white marginal streak as in C. Mug 



All the varieties seem to be confined 



Mexico, where also the larg 



more metallic-coloured exam 



further 



south the species degenerates in size and is obscurer in colour, with the elytral marking 

 forming widely separated small spots, as in the type.

Distinguished from the common and widely-distributed C. hirticollis of the United 

 States only by its larger size and the broader markings of the elytra.
