Hah. Mazatlan in Sinaloa (Huge). A good series, 

 offering no variation. 



The colour above is brownish brassy, beneath more 

 brilHant and partly golden, with the trochanters, base 

 of femora, and apical segment of the abdomen, fulvo- 

 testaccous. The labrum is broad and short, but tri- 

 angularly advanced in the middle, and unidentate in 

 both sexes, the front margin on each side strongly 

 sinuated. The thorax is rather abruptly and strongly 

 rounded after the anterior transverse sulcus, the surface 

 transversely and irregularly rugulose. The elytra, cop- 

 pery in certain lights, are punctulated throughout, and 

 conjointly acuminate, with a sutural spine ; the margin 

 (not serrulate) is oblique and Hexuous (more strongly so 

 in the ? ) to the distinct though rounded ante-apical 

 angle. The sides of the body beneath are moderately 

 densely clothed with adpressed hairs. The legs are 

 long and extremely slender, but the claws are not so 

 long as in C. macroenema and allies, being much shorter 

 than the fifth tarsal joint.

Hah. Villa Lerdo in Durango {Hoge). A large series 

 of examples. 



Similar in form and colour to C. sperata, but the 

 white markings differ a little from the most slenderly 

 marked examples of that species, in the humeral lunule
