coarsely, not closely punctate. Pronotum subdepressed, wider 

 than long (4x5 mm.), margins somewhat explanate on basal

 strongly serrated on apical part, apex narrowly rounded 

 (apices not separately rounded, nor acutely pointed), each 

 elytron with four smooth subobsolete costse, the intervals

A beautiful species, nearest in general shape (especially of 

 pronotum) to C. viridi-cyanea Fairm., but differs in (1) 

 flatter form ; (2) darker and more obscure colour ; (3) much 

 finer punctures of upper surface ; (4) longer and mor^ acumin- 

 ate apex. A single specimen (type $ ) in the Queensland 

 Mviseum.
