  Found 
  near 
  the 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  Kansas 
  River, 
  and 
  between 
  the 
  latter 
  and 
  the 
  Platte 
  : 
  

   in 
  the 
  month 
  of 
  May 
  I 
  found 
  it 
  extremely 
  abundant, 
  and 
  a 
  further 
  suite 
  of 
  specimens 
  from 
  

   Fort 
  Riley 
  I 
  owe 
  to 
  the 
  kindness 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Wm. 
  A. 
  Hammond, 
  U. 
  S. 
  A. 
  Specimens 
  occur 
  in 
  

   Avhich 
  the 
  discoidal 
  dots 
  are 
  wanting, 
  and 
  only 
  the 
  apical 
  lunule 
  and 
  marginal 
  line 
  re- 
  

   main 
  white; 
  sometimes 
  even 
  the 
  latter 
  disappears. 
  

  

  Nearly 
  allied, 
  but 
  perhaps 
  only 
  a 
  variety, 
  is 
  the 
  species 
  indicated 
  by 
  me 
  (Proc. 
  Acad. 
  

   Nat. 
  Sc. 
  6, 
  66) 
  upon 
  a 
  single 
  elytron 
  brought 
  from 
  the 
  Creek 
  Boundary 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Woodhouse 
  : 
  

   the 
  punctures 
  are 
  not 
  so 
  large 
  or 
  so 
  deep, 
  the 
  pubescence, 
  if 
  any 
  existed, 
  has 
  been 
  removed 
  

   by 
  the 
  alcohol 
  in 
  which 
  it 
  was 
  preserved 
  : 
  the 
  humeral 
  lunule 
  is 
  slender, 
  curved, 
  and 
  entire; 
  

   the 
  marginal 
  line 
  sends 
  off 
  an 
  internal 
  branch 
  at 
  the 
  middle 
  running 
  towards 
  the 
  discoidal 
  

   spot, 
  and 
  the 
  apical 
  lunule 
  is 
  rectangularly 
  inflexed 
  at 
  its 
  anterior 
  extremity. 
  Among 
  

   the 
  specimens 
  sent 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Hammond 
  is 
  one, 
  however, 
  which 
  corresponds 
  exactly 
  with 
  the 
  

   elytron 
  above 
  mentioned 
  : 
  in 
  form 
  it 
  agrees 
  exactly 
  with 
  C. 
  celeripes, 
  and 
  by 
  close 
  inspec- 
  

   tion 
  a 
  few 
  hairs 
  may 
  yet 
  be 
  perceived 
  on 
  the 
  elytra, 
  the 
  punctures 
  are 
  less 
  deep, 
  and 
  the 
  

   tibiae, 
  tarsi, 
  and 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  femora 
  are 
  testaceous 
  with 
  green 
  metallic 
  lustre. 
  On 
  this 
  ac- 
  

   count 
  I 
  am 
  induced 
  to 
  separate 
  it 
  as 
  a 
  distinct 
  species.
