Not very near to any otber described species ; among the species 



devoid of ocular sulci and having the tarsal vestiture fulvous, it 



may be distinguished by the following characters in combination : 



eyes exceptionally approximate, prothorax impunctulate. The 



outline curve of the elytra (^viewed from the side) is moderately 



strong, with its summit somewhat in front of the middle. The 



seriate punctures of the elytra are a trifle stronger than in 



cupripennis, Hope '^considerably stronger near the lateral margins), 



and the interstices are evidently less finely punctulate. Compared 



with C. ohscurus the eyes are more approximate, the 3rd joint of 



the antennae is considerably longer, the elytral sculpture is 



evidently stronger, the prothorax is impunctulate, ifec, &c. 



An example, belonging to Mr. French, from the same locality 

 as the type, specifically identical I think, is larger (long. 9| lines) 

 with the eyes a trifle more approximate, the colour more greenish 

 and the elytral sculptui-e a little coarser. It is quite possibly a 

 distinct species, but I do not find any character that seems
