 Hope's description of C. longi2Jennis is too brief for certain 

 identification on its merits, but as the author expressly states 

 that Adelaide is the habitat of the species, mentions 7|^ lines as 

 the length, and specifies the shape as oblong, as there is nothing in 

 the description distinctly inconsistent with my identification, and 

 as, moreover, this insect is not rare near Adelaide, and is the 

 only oblong species of large size that I know of occurring near 

 Adelaide, I have little hesitation in applying the name, though 

 I take the precaution of carefully describing the species to which 

 I apply it. The principal discrepancy is in respect of colour, as 

 Hope says that the prothorax is " black," and the undei-side 

 "black and nitid." I have not seen an example of this insect in 

 which both prothorax and underside are not iridescent, but in 

 dark specimens (especially if they have become a little greasy) 

 the iridescence of the prothorax is not very brilliant, and it seems
