patch, the sutiiral and lateral edges and two discoidal lines obscure 

 greenish-cupreous ; the lines terminate long before the apex, and the 

 exterior one is twice interrupted.

Clearly distinct from C. fiexuosa, the elytra being much narrower 

 and more parallel-sided, besides wanting the second spot behind the 

 sCutellum. The character of the spots is quite different. Thus there 

 is a round one on the shoulder, another equally round behind (nearer 

 the disc), and three others of the same form — one at the base, one 

 near the middle of the suture, and the third at the upper end of what 

 would have been the apical lunule. None of these spots assume the 

 elongate form of those of G. flexuosa ; the median fascia is similar 

 in the two species.

A small species, nearly allied to the G. Vasseletii group ; having 

 a rather narrow, cylindrical thorax, slightly rounded on the sides and 

 narrowed behind. The colour is light brassy-brown, of a changing 

 silky lustre, and having an ill-defined, bi-lobed, dusky patch in the 

 middle of the elytra, over the suture. The palpi are pale, with the 

 terminal joint only, in both pairs, brassy-green. The under-side of 

 the body and the legs are dark brassy-green, cupreous on the episterna 

 and femora ; with the trochanters and base of tibiae generally pitchy- 

 red. The white marks of the elytra are very minute and variable ; 

 there is no humeral spot, and rarely a trace of apical lunule in a 

 triangular speck on the margin, and a small dot in the situation of 

 the anterior end of the lunule. A short transverse streak near the
