  Nearly 
  allied

  the 
  preceding, 
  from 
  

   which 
  the 
  more 
  strongly 
  punctured 
  and 
  more 
  parallel 
  elytra, 
  and 
  the 
  complete 
  white 
  

   markings

  it. 
  The

  usually 
  dark

  One 
  specimen 
  collected 
  at 
  the 
  Yellowstone 
  River, 
  Upper 
  Missouri, 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Hayden. 
  

   Related 
  to 
  the 
  two 
  preceding, 
  but 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  smaller 
  size, 
  and 
  more 
  slender 
  form. 
  

   From 
  C. 
  cinctipennis 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  elytra 
  with 
  the 
  form 
  and 
  markings 
  of 
  C. 
  

   pusilla, 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  latter 
  by 
  the 
  deep 
  and 
  large 
  punctures. 
  The 
  maxillary 
  palpi 
  are 
  

   brownish 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  but 
  this 
  may 
  be 
  an 
  individual 
  variation 
  : 
  the 
  anus 
  and 
  trochanters 
  

   are 
  testaceous. 
  

  

  group 
  xr. 
  

   Maritime 
  species 
  having 
  broad 
  depressed 
  white 
  elytra, 
  which 
  are 
  angulated 
  laterally 
  in 
  

   the 
  female 
  : 
  the 
  suture 
  and 
  oblique 
  lines 
  are 
  dark 
  metallic 
  green. 
  The 
  thorax 
  of 
  the 
  fe- 
  

   male 
  is 
  dilated 
  posteriorly 
  : 
  the 
  front 
  is 
  glabrous, 
  finely 
  striate 
  ; 
  in 
  our 
  species 
  the 
  right 
  

   mandible 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  is 
  inferiorly 
  dilated 
  into 
  an 
  obtuse 
  tooth 
  near 
  the 
  tip, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  South 
  

   American 
  C. 
  nivea, 
  this 
  is 
  not 
  observed. 
  The 
  palpi 
  are 
  pale 
  with 
  dark 
  tips. 
  The 
  body 
  

   beneath 
  is 
  densely 
  clothed 
  with 
  white 
  hair, 
  only 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  pectus 
  and 
  abdomen 
  is 
  

   glabrous. 
  Legs 
  very 
  long; 
  first 
  joint 
  of 
  anterior 
  tarsi 
  of 
  males 
  hardly 
  dilated, 
  3rd 
  joint 
  

   very 
  perceptibly 
  oblique; 
  claws 
  larger 
  than 
  usual. 
  The 
  tips 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  obliquely 
  

   narrowed, 
  and 
  separately 
  rounded 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  they 
  are 
  conjointly 
  rounded. 
  

   The 
  change 
  in 
  pattern 
  of 
  the 
  elytral 
  markings 
  is 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  a 
  basal 
  spot; 
  the 
  

   ordinary 
  markings 
  are 
  broad, 
  and 
  the 
  humeral 
  lunule 
  is 
  prolonged 
  along 
  the 
  suture 
  till 
  

   it 
  reaches 
  the 
  much 
  deflexed 
  and 
  somewhat 
  tortuous 
  medial 
  band.
