  Valley 
  of 
  the 
  Nebraska 
  River, 
  near 
  sand 
  hills. 
  The 
  marks 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  always 
  

   very 
  broad, 
  and 
  the 
  humeral 
  lunule, 
  though 
  obliquely 
  prolonged, 
  is 
  so 
  dilated 
  that 
  its 
  

   posterior 
  outline 
  is 
  perpendicular 
  to 
  the 
  sides 
  : 
  the 
  only 
  satisfactory 
  difference 
  between 
  it 
  

   and 
  C. 
  generosa 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  band 
  being 
  only 
  obtusely 
  bent, 
  and 
  much 
  less 
  

   dellexed 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  named 
  species.
