margin is the only trace of tlie median fascia, except a speck near the 

 suture iu a straight line with it ; but there is always a small spot ou 

 the anterior part of the disc. The pale parts of the elytra ai-e covered 

 with shallow^ green punctures. The sides of the breast and abdomen 

 are thinly pubescent, and the palpi and legs have very few hairs. 

 The abdomen is roughly punctulate. 



Chontales, Nicaragua ; many examples (Thos. Belt, Esq.). 



Mr. Osbert Salviii has taken at Obispo, Panama, a dark variety, 

 with a complete, but fine, angular, median fascia.

In fresh examples the elytra are dark cupreous, opaque and 

 velvety, except on the sides where fine scattered punctures are visible. 

 The oblique white line is sometimes reduced to one or two linear 

 specks ; it is well developed, however, in three out of five of my 

 specimens, all males ; in one there are the rudiments of an apical 

 lunule. 



Chontales, Nicaragua (Thos. Belt, Esq.). 



The allied Mexican C. papillosa is found also at Chontales, besides 

 C. Mexicana, Klug, C. carthagcna, Dej., C. calochroides, Motsch., C. 

 Jiydrophoha, Chevr., and C. ohliquans, Chaud.
