Geodepliagous Coleoptera of Japan. 227 
nearly parallel sides ; the sutural apex spinose in botli 
sexes ; they are opake, but rather closely studded with 
glossy elevated granules, much more minute than those of 
C. liyhrida and allied species. The great length of the 
elytra makes the head and thorax appear relatively short. 
The maxillary palpi are reddish, with the second joint 
partly, and the third and fourth wholly, brassy green. 
The labial palpi are pale testaceous, with the terminal 
joint only brassy green. 
On sandy sea-beach, Sakai, near Osaka. 
C. latcscripta, Motschulsky, in Schrenk's Reise im 
Amurlande, Ins. p. 88, tab. vi. f. 1. 
Valde elongata, cyaneo-nigra, elytris elongato-ellipticis, 
margine lato (lunulis et fascia obliqua mediana conjunctis) 
lineolisque duabus suturalibus albis ; capite parvo, thorace 
cylindrico-ovato, pedibus valde elongatis. 
Long. 7—8 lin. $ ? . 
Motschulsky gives five lines only as the length of 
this species, but as his measurements are very frequently 
erroneous, and his figure accurately represents the present 
insect in size and markings, I feel no doubt that the deter- 
mination is correct, especially if we may assume a little 
inaccuracy in the figure as to the rounding of the shoulders 
of the elytra, Avhich in our insect are very distinct, and 
even produced a little forward. The tibia3, and even the 
tarsi in some specimens, are more or less rufous. The 
white hairs of the flanks of the body beneath are adpressed 
or subtomentose, as in C. signata and other long-legged 
species, between which and the cancellata group this 
remarkable and elegant species must be placed. 
Mr. Lewis found it in the sandy beds of rivers near 
Kawachi. Motschulsky records it as having been taken 
at various places along the banks of the Amur and Usuri 
by MM. Schrenk and Ditmar, and Madame Gachkevich, 
and also at Dole and Kidsi. His correspondents, how- 
ever, did not meet with it in Japan.
