  Though 
  allied

  C.

   nerosa, 
  the 
  form 
  is 
  less

  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  more 
  strongly 
  punctured, 
  and 
  the 
  labrum 
  

   is 
  shorter. 
  Baron 
  Chaudoir 
  states 
  that 
  it 
  closely 
  resembles 
  the 
  Asiatic 
  C. 
  lateralis.

  Apparently

  almost 
  every 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States. 
  New 
  York, 
  Georgia, 
  

   Wisconsin, 
  Missouri. 
  The 
  green 
  specimen 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Townsend 
  on 
  his 
  journey 
  

   to 
  the 
  Pacific, 
  through 
  the 
  Rocky 
  Mountains, 
  and 
  was 
  given 
  me 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Willcox. 
  The 
  

   variety 
  with 
  indistinct 
  humeral 
  lunule 
  was 
  taken 
  on 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  the 
  Ohio 
  River, 
  below 
  

   Louisville. 
  In 
  form 
  this 
  species 
  entirely 
  resembles 
  C. 
  purpurea, 
  and 
  bears 
  but 
  a 
  remote 
  

   resemblance 
  (except 
  in 
  the 
  forms 
  of 
  the 
  markings) 
  to 
  C. 
  generosa. 
  The 
  description 
  given 
  

   by 
  Kirby 
  of 
  C. 
  obliquata 
  can 
  however 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  no 
  other 
  species 
  but 
  C. 
  generosa, 
  

   from 
  which 
  he 
  separates 
  the 
  present 
  by 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  characters 
  of 
  little 
  value, 
  neglecting 
  

   the 
  obvious 
  differences.

  Platte 
  river 
  valley 
  on 
  sandy 
  places. 
  In 
  one 
  specimen 
  the 
  middle 
  band 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  is 
  

   slightly 
  dilated 
  along 
  the 
  margin 
  (as 
  may 
  be 
  occasionally 
  seen 
  in 
  C. 
  vulgaris) 
  but 
  it 
  would 
  

   never 
  become 
  united 
  with 
  either 
  of 
  the 
  lunules. 
  The 
  form 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  more 
  slender 
  

   than 
  that 
  of 
  C. 
  generosa
