Resembles G. cceruleus in tarsal structure and in form, excepting that the elytra are 



The 

 colour of the elytra is a more brilliant greenish blue, and the thorax, though very 

 similar in its ovate outline, has much narrower lateral margins. It was named 

 C. chaudoiri (Coq.) in the Salle collection, evidently by mistake, as that species is 



smaller, and has produced hind angles to the thorax, besides being of dark shining 

 bronze colour.

less oval, or more oblong and broader, and the antennae relatively much shorter.

G. atrato (Chaud.) affinis ; differt capite minori elytrisque cuprascenti-seneis, nitidis etc. Parum convexus, nigro- 

 piceus, nitidus ; antennis, palpis, pedibus margineque thoracis rufioribus ; thorace fere sicut in C. atrato 

 quadrato-cordato, angulis posticis fere rectis, margine laterali explanato-reflexo rufo ; elytris seneis certo 

 situ cupreo-micantibus, parum eonvexis, apice sat profunde sinuatis, apud suturam parum productis, apice 

 ipso subtruncatis, dorso punctulato-striatis, interstitiis usque ad apicem planissimis, punctis 3 dorsalibus 

 sat conspicuis ; tarsorum omnium articulo 4° emarginato, angulo exteriori paullo elongato.

Hab. Costa Rica ( Van Patten). 



Of similar form to C. atratus, but head smaller and coloration very different. Still 

 more nearly allied to C. zunilensis, with which it accords in colour, but not in the form 

 of the thorax, the latter being much broader and with more produced hind angles.

Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



A distinct species of the C. cyanonotus group, distinguished by its slender form (more

slender than C. cyanellus) and the 



cely arcuated 



of the thorax, the form of

 lensis (which is bluish green), highly polished, and with brassy, almost golden, reflections

posteriorly.
