Carphurus cyanopterus, Boh. {Helcogasto'), Res. Eugen., 

 1858, p. 82, PI. I, fig. 4. 



' The type of this species was described as having a small 

 transverse black spot near the apex of the prothorax ; two 

 specimens before me have a blackish streak close to the 

 front of the prothorax, but in all the others this segment 

 is unclouded.

The type of cyaneipennis is a male, and the basal joint 

 of its antennae is very peculiar ; I have seen no specimen 

 agreeing with it in the colour of its elytra, but have myself 

 described a form in which the elytra are of a dark brassy- 

 green, at the time thinking it a distinct species. On com- 

 paring the types together, however, I was convinced that, 

 despite the difference in the colour of the elytra, the two 

 forms belonged to but one species. 



The female has longer antennae than the male, with 

 the basal joint smaller and not at all emarginate on its 

 upper surface, and the apical six (to eight) joints infuscate. 

 The female of this variety has been named aeneipennis by 

 Fairmaire.

Although not mentioned in the description, the type 

 has the inner angles at the apex of the elytra pale. 



A male from Studley Park has the apical two-thirds of 

 the elytra entirely dark ; its head has a thick wheal-like
