Since the publication of my description above referred to, I 
have ascertained that C. @neomicans is but a minor variety of _ 
L. metallifer, Boisd. (loc. cit.), the type specimen of which is in 
the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes; the female, however, had 
not previously been described. With reference to the armature of 
the tibize of the females in this genus, Mr. Hope was evidently in 
error in characterizing them as having the four posterior unarmed 
(vid. Cat. p. 5); the contrary is found to be invariably the case, 
each of them being provided with a single spine.

antennis pedibusque nigris; mandibulis incurvatis, ad basim 
unidentatis, apicibus furcatis, denticulis 3 vel 4 instructis.

The extraordinary size of the head of this species, in com- 
parison with the prothorax and body, is most remarkable; in this 
respect it somewhat resembles C. faunicolor, Hope (vid. Tr. Ent. 
Soc. iv. 273), but differs from it and all the other species of the 
genus by its rich dark purple colour. 
For the description and figure of this new species I am in- 
debted to Mr. Maitland, the obliging Curator of the Zoological 
Society’s establishment at Amsterdam ; it forms part of a very 
interesting collection of Coleoptera I recently had the pleasure of 
inspecting under his kind auspices.
