sublobatim producto et valde tridentato angulis lateralibus rectis ; 

 thorace antice rotundato j^rope basin sat fortiter angustato, uudique 

 confuse ruguloso sulcis j^rofundis ; elytris supra insequalibus punc- 

 tulatis foveolisque numerosis umbilicatis cyaneis in seriebus duabus 

 irregulariter dispositis ; subtus nigro cyanea uti'inque sparsim 

 pilosa, episterno prothoracico igneo-cupreo subglabro ; pedibus 

 cyaneis partim igneo-cupreis. Long. 10 — 11 mm. 



The elytra in both sexes are conjointly and broadly 

 rounded at the apex, the apical edge not serrated, and 

 the siitural angle scarcely spinose. The palpi are all 

 metallic, the penultimate of the labials dark brownish in 

 the (? . The head and thorax are often of a clearer 

 copi^ery hue.

 C. hemichrysece (Chevr.) subsimilis sed multi robustior, sat

 subcylindrico postiee angustato ; fusco-aenea, elytris obscure viridi-

Though similar in form to C. hemichrysea, this species 

 can scarcely belong to the same group, as the labrum is 

 totally different, being scarcely convex, broadly pro- 

 duced in the middle, with the anterior margin of the 

 produced part more or less truncated and unidentate, 

 and a conspicuous submarginal row of large setiferous 

 punctures 10 or 12 in number. The head is much 

 thicker and broader behind the eyes, which latter are 

 much less prominent ; the vertex is only slightly de- 

 pressed and finely striated, the declivous forehead con- 

 fusedly rugulose. The thorax is relatively long, gradually 

 narrowed behind, with the transverse sulci only faintly 

 impressed, the dorsal sulcus more strongly so, though 

 abbreviated at both ends, and deeply incised at its basal 

 termination ; the disk on each side finely and closely 

 strigulose. The elytra are relatively short, slightly and 

 gradually dilated from the base to near the ajjex, the 

 shoulders rectangular. The discoidal white fascia lies 

 considerably behind the middle, and in the centre of 

 each elytron is curved or feebly l)iflexuose, only slightly
