[Long. 6|, lat. 3? lines. 

 A very distinct species distinguished by its ojiaque dark blue- 

 black appearance in combination with the perfectly flat evidently 

 punctulate interstices of its elytra and the short basal joint of its 

 hind tarsi. It bears a certain resemblance to C. coelestis, Pasc, 

 but is larger and more obscure, without ocular sulci, &c. 

 C. coelestis, moreover, has the basal joint of its hind tarsi much 

 longer. The outline curve of the elytra, viewed from the side, is 

 moderately strong, with its summit about the middle. The space 

 between the eyes is scarcely more than half as wide as in 

 cicprijjennis, but is evidently wider than in vigilans, major, &c. 

 I have an example from Port Darwin and another from 

 N. Queensland, which probably represent distinct species, as 

 they pi-esent appreciable differences in the seriate puncturation of 

 the elytra ; but as they ai-e unique specimens it is safer at 

 present to treat them as local forms of this insect. The colour of 

 the elytra in both is a uniform dark green.
