Tliis species is very closely related to C. gundlachi. It may be 

 distinguished by its greater size, more specialized and elongate 

 titillatores of the male, which normally extend well beyond the 

 distal margin of the subgenital plate, heavier and longer ovipositor 

 with heavier serrulations (in this character, however, only showing 

 a proportionate size increase in the larger species) and tegmina which 

 usually show a few weak and irregularly placed transverse veinlets. 

 The beautiful and brilliant, though pale, green coloration of both 

 these species in life, almost entirely disappears in dried material. 



In the series before us the following extremes in length are found: 

 tegmen, rf 1 5.6 to 6.8, 9 6.3 to 7; wing, & 7.3 to 9.2, 9 8.8 to 9.4; 

 caudal femur, d 71 5 to 5.7, 9 5.3 to 5.8; ovipositor 3.2 to 3.6 mm. 



The species is thamnophilous and dendrophilous and has never 

 been found in the least abundant. Its small size and retiring habits 

 make it a very difficult insect to collect. The present material was 

 taken in a deep forest of gum, sweet gum, etc. (Florence), beaten 

 from bayberry bushes, Myrica cerifera. near stream in forest (Bruns- 

 wick) and from the same on edge of pine woods (Atlantic Beach) , 

 and was found scarce in low bushes, particularly in shoots of sweet 

 gum, along stream in forest (Doucette). 



The insect was described from Washington, District of Columbia, 

 and Falls Church, Virginia, the northernmost localities from which it 

 is known, and has been previously recorded from Raleigh, North 

 Carolina, and Bainbridge, Georgia. The present records.considerably 

 extend the known range of the species westward. 180
