  with

  'Labrum 
  three-toothed, 
  white; 
  mandibles 
  black, 
  base 
  white: 
  elytra 
  with 
  a 
  white 
  spot 
  

   on 
  the 
  shoulder, 
  another 
  equidistant 
  from 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  the 
  band 
  : 
  band 
  broad, 
  arising 
  

   from 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  margin, 
  refracted 
  at 
  the 
  centre 
  of 
  the 
  elytron, 
  and 
  terminated 
  near 
  

   the 
  suture 
  in 
  a 
  line 
  with 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  spot: 
  this 
  spot 
  is 
  large, 
  orbicular, 
  and 
  

   placed 
  near 
  the 
  external 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  terminal 
  one, 
  which 
  is 
  transverse 
  and 
  triangular 
  ; 
  

   body 
  beneath 
  green, 
  trochanters 
  and 
  tail 
  purple.' 
  Length 
  three-fifths 
  of 
  an 
  inch 
  nearly. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Nuttall'; 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  Missouri 
  River 
  above 
  the 
  confluence 
  of 
  the 
  Platte. 
  Seems 
  

   allied 
  to 
  C. 
  purpurea 
  (race 
  limbalis 
  or 
  amoena) 
  or 
  to 
  C. 
  patruela, 
  but 
  is 
  evidently 
  distin- 
  

   guished 
  from 
  each 
  by 
  the 
  middle 
  band 
  being 
  more 
  deflexed.

  dot 
  green, 
  exterior 
  and

  Length 
  less 
  

   than 
  half 
  an 
  inch.'

  'Body 
  green, 
  varied 
  with 
  blue 
  and 
  purple, 
  and 
  with 
  cinereous 
  hair: 
  antennas 
  black 
  at 
  

   tip, 
  labrum 
  and 
  exterior 
  and 
  superior 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  mandibles 
  white: 
  thorax 
  hairy 
  each 
  

   side, 
  indented 
  lines 
  violaceous; 
  elytra 
  white, 
  a 
  green 
  sutural 
  vitta 
  narrowed 
  behind, 
  an 
  

   oblique 
  irregular 
  line 
  behind 
  the 
  middle, 
  and 
  a 
  small 
  triangular 
  dot 
  before 
  the 
  middle 
  

   green; 
  exterior 
  edge 
  and 
  basal 
  edge, 
  bluish 
  green 
  or 
  violaceous; 
  beneath 
  hairy; 
  venter 
  

   purplish. 
  This 
  species, 
  at 
  first 
  sight, 
  resembles 
  C. 
  dor 
  sal 
  is, 
  but 
  is 
  very 
  distinct 
  in 
  its 
  

   marking 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  its 
  thorax. 
  Found 
  on 
  the 
  Nebraska 
  and 
  Arkansas 
  Rivers.' 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  allied 
  to 
  any 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  seen.

  the

  'Inhabits 
  North 
  West 
  Territory. 
  Body 
  destitute 
  of 
  metallic 
  lustre; 
  labrum 
  white, 
  

   breadth 
  more 
  than 
  twice 
  the 
  length, 
  tip 
  three-toothed, 
  intermediate 
  tooth 
  conic 
  acute, 
  

   the 
  lateral 
  teeth 
  angulated 
  obtuse: 
  mandibles 
  white 
  on 
  the 
  exterior 
  base: 
  thorax 
  a 
  little 
  

   hairy 
  : 
  elytra 
  with 
  scattered 
  very 
  minute 
  punctures, 
  which 
  are 
  oblique, 
  as 
  if 
  formed 
  by 
  a 
  

   pointed 
  instrument 
  directed 
  towards 
  the 
  anterior 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  insect, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  surface 
  be- 
  

   fore 
  each 
  puncture 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  elevated; 
  a 
  white 
  line 
  margins 
  the 
  extremity; 
  venter 
  

   blackish-testaceous. 
  This 
  species 
  is 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  C. 
  pusilla, 
  but 
  the 
  marking 
  of 
  the 
  

   elytra 
  differs, 
  and 
  the 
  thorax 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  much 
  contracted 
  at 
  base, 
  and 
  is 
  more 
  closely 
  affixed 
  

   to 
  the 
  abdomen.'
