466 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN AMARYGMIDES, 



An extremely elongate species somewhat resembling C. perlongus 

 and cylindricus, but differing from botli ijiter alia by the presence 

 of distinct ocular sulci and the greater width of the interval 

 between the eyes. Compared with C. cttpripennis this species 

 (apart from its entirely different shape) has eyes about the same 

 distance apart, prothorax somewhat less transverse and with front 

 angles evidently more pointed, sculpture of elytra not much 

 different, &c., &c. The outline curve of the elytra (viewed from 

 the side) is not strong and its summit is at, or even a little behind, 

 the middle of its length. The arrangement of colours on the 

 elytra of the typical specimen is peculiar, the suture being widely 

 purple except near the base and apex : the elongate spot thus 

 formed is surrounded on all sides by a green ring ; the lateral 

 margins are widely green and the rest of the surface is dull 

 greenish-seneous, changing in certain lights to coppery.
