coarser towards the lateral margins, whereas in the present 

 insect they are uniform or nearly so. There are about six 

 punctures in the length of a line in the discal series, and the 

 intervals between puncture and puncture are about equal to 

 (slightly more or less than) the diameter of the individual 

 punctures. The eyes are fully as wide apart as in C. cupripennis. 

 This is an exceptionally beautiful species.

 Like the preceding, the width of the front of the prothorax as 

 compared with the base in this species seems to make it some- 

 what intermediate between the two groups that I have distin- 

 guished in the tabulation by the prothorax being more or less 

 narrowed forward. If placed among those with the prothorax 

 more nai-rowed it would fall beside C. minor, from which iiiter
