being less curved behind and not thickened at the apex, 

 and in the apical lunule being very abruptly bent. The 

 species forms a transition between the sperata-marginati 

 group and the trisigiiata and hirticollis group ; the white 

 pubescence of the sides of the body beneath, though 

 rather dense, is less adpressed and felted than in 

 C. marginata and allies. Thelabrum is short and broad, 

 rectangular, with the median part very slightly produced 

 even in the 2 . The thorax is narrow^ nearly cylindrical, 

 and minutely, irregularly sculptured. The elytra are 

 proportionally rather long, broader behind, with con- 

 jointly rounded and sharply serrulated apical margin ; 

 the surface is very regularly, equally, and finely granu- 

 late-punctate, with very dense and fine punctuation on 

 the interstices. The under side and legs are bluish 

 green, the four posterior trochanters purple-metallic.

Distinguished from other members of the group with 

 greatly elongated legs and corresponding claws by the 

 median fascia lying across the elytron, and ending in a 

 short vitta parallel to the suture. The surface of the 

 elytra is minutely granulated throughout, as in C. 

 macroenema ; and tbe apex, as in that species, is con- 

 jointly rounded in the c? , more prolonged and towards 

 the suture sepai'ately rounded in the ? , with the edge 

 serrulated. The labrum is short and broad, quad- 

 rangular, with straight front edge and small central tooth. 

 The under surface, legs, and trochanters are brilliant 

 coppery, with the abdomen and middle of the sterna 

 dark a;neous ; the sides clothed with adpressed hairs.
