Hiogo ; abundant. 
Allied to C. Lafertei (Montr.) of Xew Caledonia ; but 
the thorax still wider and more strongly rounded in tlie 
middle ; the hind angles are rounded and scarcely percep- 
tible ; the flattened sides are extremely wide and nearly 
e(|ual fi'om base to apex ; the widest part is a little before 
the middle, the posterior narrowing being a little more 
gradual than the anterior. The legs and underside are 
iniiform tawny-reddish. The head is long and narroAV, 
especially behind, and the eyes little prominent. The 
exterior lobe of 4tli joint in all the tarsi is elongated, but 
most so on the hind feet, Avhere the 4tli joint is truly uni- 
lobular.

Nagasaki. 
The shorter head, especially behind, and the prominent 
eyes, give this species an appearance very distinct from 
C. lamj)ros ; it is very closely allied to htmpros, as proved 
l)v the 4th tarsal joints, which are very similar \n shape in 
all the feet ; the grooves on the hinder tarsi are, however, 
different, being quite lateral in modestior and dorsal in 
lumpros. The thorax has similar wide explanated mar- 
gins, and the greatest width is a little before the middle, 
but it is narrowed rather less in front and forms behind 
much more distinct angles. The elytra are dark brassy- 
green, and not glittering golden-green, as in lampros.
