ClCINDELA. 



1. C. (hnliriilii/a. Bright green ; mandibles slender, lon- 

 ger than the head ; elytra polished, with a subsuturaJ series <>l 

 impressed punctures, a suhhumeral dot, intermediate triangu- 

 lar spot and terminal lunule white; pectus, postpectus, and 

 trout in the male, hairy. 



Length half an inch. 



Inhabits Massachusetts. 



From C. (i-git/fa/ti tin* species may be easily distinguish- 

 ed by its elongated mandibles, its pectus and postpectus very 

 hairy, and the head also, in the male. The punctures on the 

 elytra of this species are exceedingly minute and distant, whilst 

 they are deep in C. 6-guttata. ' To Dr T. W. Harris I am 

 indebted for this and the next species. Thai gentleman, 

 whose knowledge and labours are aol less remarkable than 

 \\\^ disinterestedness, has furnished me also with the following 



Varieties. 

 ■ — Elytra purplish hlue; spots as in the >pccies. 

 (i — Anterior dot of the elytra wanting.
