  From 
  Maine 
  to 
  Texas, 
  and 
  as 
  far 
  west 
  as 
  Santa 
  Fe 
  : 
  abundant 
  on 
  dry 
  roads, 
  and 
  fre- 
  

   quently 
  seen 
  in 
  the 
  streets 
  of 
  our 
  largest 
  cities. 
  The 
  form 
  a 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  Kansas 
  and 
  New 
  

   Mexico, 
  with 
  the 
  ordinary 
  variety. 
  The 
  punctures 
  are 
  more 
  distant 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  

   the 
  row 
  of 
  blue 
  foveas, 
  wherefore, 
  greasy 
  specimens 
  sometimes 
  appear 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  nearly 
  

   smooth 
  longitudinal 
  spot 
  on 
  each 
  elytron. 
  It 
  would 
  perhaps 
  be 
  more 
  in 
  accordance 
  with 
  sci- 
  

   entific 
  law 
  to 
  replace 
  the 
  name 
  micans 
  to 
  this 
  species, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  so 
  well 
  known 
  by 
  the 
  

   later 
  name 
  given 
  by 
  the 
  same 
  author, 
  that 
  it 
  seems 
  more 
  proper 
  not 
  to 
  make 
  the 
  change.

  A 
  single 
  species 
  of 
  a 
  dull 
  black 
  colour 
  above, 
  with 
  sericeous 
  surface, 
  but 
  no 
  metallic 
  lus- 
  

   tre 
  except 
  in 
  the 
  impressions; 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  glabrous, 
  finely 
  granulate 
  behind, 
  somewhat 
  

   coarsely 
  striate 
  between 
  the 
  eyes, 
  which 
  are 
  moderate 
  in 
  size 
  ; 
  the 
  labrum 
  is 
  yellowish 
  

   white, 
  rather 
  large, 
  broadly 
  prominent 
  and 
  rounded 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  with 
  a 
  small 
  mid- 
  

   dle 
  tooth. 
  Palpi 
  piceous, 
  with 
  the 
  last 
  joint 
  black 
  : 
  labial 
  palpi 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  pale 
  with 
  the 
  

   last 
  joint 
  black. 
  Thorax 
  cylindrical, 
  finely 
  alutaceous, 
  not 
  perceptibly 
  granulate, 
  and 
  

   with 
  only 
  a 
  few 
  very 
  fine 
  ruga). 
  Elytra 
  oblong, 
  rounded 
  behind 
  and 
  finely 
  serrate, 
  with 
  

   distinct 
  sutural 
  spine 
  : 
  not 
  deeply 
  but 
  distinctly 
  punctured, 
  with 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  shallow 
  foveas 
  

   towards 
  the 
  suture. 
  

  

  Body 
  beneath 
  blackish 
  blue, 
  with 
  fine 
  but 
  not 
  dense 
  white 
  hair 
  toward 
  the 
  sides. 
  

  

  Resembles 
  in 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  characters 
  C. 
  obsoleta, 
  but 
  by 
  the 
  form 
  and 
  sculpture 
  it 
  is 
  

   plainly 
  allied 
  to 
  C. 
  punctulata.
