 This species in color and markings resembles C. c<.rulea very much 

 and for a long time I was of the opinion that they were identical. 

 A more careful examination soon dispelled the illusion. It may be 

 easily distinguished by a more slender form, by punctation being more 

 coarsely punctured than ccerulea, by the face being covered by a dense 

 silky pubescence, by the antenna being brownish, scape a-eddish by 

 the much Jonger ovipositor, and by the yellowish-red pubescent legs. 

 In coerulea the legs are not pubescent. 



The % is .IG inch in length, and is difficult to distinguish from ^ ot 

 ccerulea. It may be distinguished however by the scutellum bemg 

 divided in the middle by a tran.sverse suture, by all the femora being 

 blue exceptins at tips and by a darker abdomen.
