bluish, the bilobatc disk cupreous; scutel blue; elytra dull 

 olivaceous-green, with a slightly cupreous tint and blue margin, 

 (bur white dots and refracted band ; of the anterior marginal 

 dots, one is placed on the humerus, and the second o<juidistant 

 from the band, which is refracted at the centre of the elytron, 

 and terminated near the suture, in a transverse line with the 

 penultimate spot; this last is large, submarginal, and orbicular; 

 terminal spot transversely triangular, and with the first interrupt- 

 ing the margin ; sutural angle not raucronate. Abdomen, 

 venter bluish-green, with a few hairs CAch side; tail purple. 



The specimen from which this description was taken is <a 

 female; it resembles C. pnrpurra in its diflFerently colored elytral 

 margin, but is sufiiciently distinct from that insect by its more 

 numerous spots, &c. [424] 



[The figure is so different from that given in Aniericau Ento- 

 mology, ante 1, 84, that it is impossible to believe that both have 

 been taken from the same specimen. The present figure evi- 

 dently belongs to one of the western varieties of ('. punctuhitn, 

 but the description does not agree with that species. — Lec]
