The form is a little ovate, being slightly at the widest behind 

 the middle of the elytra. Viewed from the side the upper outline 

 of the elytra is a feeble curve, the summit of which is at — or 

 almost behind — the middle. The sculpture of the elytra is 

 almost as in C. cupripennis, the puncturation of the prothorax 

 being closer and stronger (i.e., deeper and more conspicuous, but 

 scarcely less fine) than in that species. The distance between the 

 eyes is scarcely less than in C cupripennis. Compared with C. 

 cupripeniiis the head in this insect is much more closely and 

 evenly punctulate, the antennal joints quite differently propor- 

 tioned i7iter se, the prothorax less transverse, the metasternal 

 episterna much more punctulate, &c. The general form is much 

 more elongate and parallel with the outline curve of the elytra 

 (viewed from the side) much feebler, with its summit much 

 further from the base. The interstices of the elytra are abso- 

 lutely flat.
