C. RUSTicuSj sp.nov. 



Oblongo-ovalis ; modice nitidus ; niger, capite viridi-tincto, 

 prothorace viiidi (cupreo-tincto), elytris cupreo-purpureis 

 (viridi-tinctis) ; capite sat subtiliter minus crebre punctu- 

 lato ; oculis quam antennarum articuli basalis longitudine 

 vix magis inter se remotis ; sulcis ocidaribus fere nullis, 

 antennis quam corporis dimidium multo brevioribus, articulo 

 3° V 2°que conjunctis longitudine sat sequali quam i^^ 5"^que 

 conjuncti sat breviori, articulis S-10 quam pra^cedentes mani- 

 festo brevioribus ; prothorace quam longiori (et postice quam 

 antice) fere duplo latiori, sat crebre sat subtiliter punctulato, 

 antice modice emarginato, lateribus (superne visis) a basi 

 antrorsum arcuatim angustatis, basi media sublobata^ angulis 

 anticis obtusis posticis (superne visis) subrectis ; elytris sat 

 subtiliter seriatim punctulatis, interstitiis planis subtilissiuie 

 punctulatis ; prosterno medio antice carinato ; corpore subtus 

 minus distincte punctulato ; femoribus anticis antice sparsim 

 sat perspicue punctulatis ; tarsis subtus fulvo-setosis, posti- 

 corum articulo basali quam ceteri conjuncti multo breviori.

A robust species not very close to any other known to me. 

 The seriate puncturation of th6 elytra is similar to that of C. 

 variabilis, Blessig, but it looks more conspicuous owing to the 

 extreme fineness of the interstitial puncturation. In some respects 

 this insect answers to the description of C. ohiusus, Pasc, but I 

 do not think it can be that species owing to the elytra of the 

 latter being described as "haud versicolora," the tarsi as "slender" 

 (they being rather exceptionally stout in the present insect), &c.
