C. sublimbatus Schaef. Can. Ent., June, 191 2, p. 187. 



As indicated under tricolor the characters of this form are precisely those 

 of that species except that the sutural and lateral marginal beads are in great 

 part rufous. It should probably be placed as a variety of tricolor. It is rep- 

 resented before me by a J' cotype from Clayton, Ga., kindly submitted for 

 examination by Mr. Schaeffer. 



C. vicarius, new species. 



Extremely like tricolor and separable with certainty only by the ^ antennal 

 characters. The basal joint of the ^ antenna is here much less broadly tri- 

 angular than in tricolor, being more than J/2 longer than wide, and the 26. joint 

 is less transverse and when viewed on the convex side the exterior apical angle 

 is less produced and more broadly rounded than in tricolor. 



Type from Miller, Indiana, collected by Mr. A. B. Wolcott; a 

 second 6 from McAlester. Indian Territory, collected by Professor 

 Wickham. 



In the type the elytra are deep blue, in the Indian Territory speci- 

 men distinctly greenish; in both they are quite shining and feebly or 

 scarcely alutaceous and without trace of rufescent space on suture or 

 side margin, the epipleura even being completely concolorous. The 

 venter is more distinctly maculate at sides in the <S than is usually the 

 case in tricolor. These characters may or may not be significant, and 

 much more material is necessary to determine their value. 



C. punctatus Lee. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1852, p. 164. 



A rather small, narrow and convex species. Elytra blackish in the type, 

 faintly bluish or dull green in some examples. Head black, unusually densely 

 and coarsely punctate. Antennae feebly serrate, black, basal joint pale with 

 black spot, second joint pale or with the convex surface more or less blackish. 

 Prothorax rufous, immaculate or with a discal spot of variable size. Elytral 

 punctures very coarse, varying in density. Legs almost entirely black, ventral 

 segments black with pale apices. The basal joint of the antennae in the ^ is 

 rather strongly bent, the anterior margin distinctly angulate as viewed from 

 above. 



This species is known to me from "Kansas"; Benedict, Kansas; 

 Malcolm, Nebraska; Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, Colorado; 

 " New Mexico " ; Pecos, New Mexico. 



The type bears a green disk locality label and in the original 

 description is said to be from " Missouri Territory " (probably West- 

 ern Kansas or Nebraska) ; the second example is from Kansas. Two 

 other examples from Garland, Colorado, and one from New Mexico
