C. planulata may be a species allied to C. brunnea ; still, with a powerful lens, a few 



very faint punctures may be discerned in C. 



The var. atrata approaches 



the South-American C. tristis, and, if confirmed by further examples, may be treated as 



a distinct species. 



C. metallescens may be distinguished from other Central-American species of similar 

 coloration by the anterior puncture of the third elytral interstice being situated near 

 the base, rather less than one fourth the elytral length.
