  in 
  C.

  The 
  white 
  markings 
  

   are 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  form 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  preceding, 
  but 
  wider, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  elytra 
  appear 
  white, 
  with 
  

   the 
  suture 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  four 
  branches 
  dark-coloured: 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  

   branches 
  are 
  oblique 
  forwards 
  and 
  hooked, 
  the 
  third 
  is 
  small, 
  straight 
  and 
  oblique 
  

   backwards, 
  while 
  the 
  fourth 
  is 
  oblique 
  forwards, 
  thickened 
  at 
  each 
  end, 
  and 
  angulated 
  near 
  

   the 
  suture.

  Rio 
  Grande, 
  at 
  various 
  places: 
  collected 
  by 
  Messrs. 
  Schott 
  and 
  Clark 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  

   States 
  and 
  Mexican 
  Boundary 
  Commission. 
  Slightly 
  more 
  elongated 
  than 
  C. 
  cuprascens, 
  

   and 
  easily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  that 
  as 
  from 
  the 
  other 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  group 
  by 
  the 
  absence 
  

   of 
  a 
  basal 
  white 
  spot 
  on 
  the 
  elytra. 
  I 
  incorrectly 
  mentioned 
  (Proc. 
  Acad. 
  6, 
  439,) 
  this 
  

   species 
  as 
  C. 
  curvata 
  Chevr.; 
  in 
  that 
  species, 
  however, 
  the 
  humeral 
  branch 
  is 
  prolonged 
  

   backwards 
  parallel 
  with 
  the 
  suture, 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  hamate. 
  

  

  One 
  female 
  specimen 
  varies 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  lateral 
  white 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  broader, 
  so 
  

   that 
  the 
  lobes 
  of 
  the 
  apical 
  lunule 
  become 
  wider 
  and 
  rounded. 
  

  

  GROUP 
  XIII. 
  

  

  A 
  small 
  species 
  with 
  large 
  prominent 
  eyes, 
  densely 
  pubescent 
  head 
  and 
  thorax, 
  and 
  

   pale 
  legs: 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  flat, 
  broad 
  and 
  white, 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  sinuous 
  dark 
  lines, 
  the 
  tip 
  is
