  Sonora, 
  Mr. 
  Arthur 
  Scliott 
  ; 
  one 
  specimen. 
  While 
  these 
  sheets 
  were 
  passing 
  through 
  

   the 
  press, 
  a 
  valuable 
  collection 
  made 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Schott 
  during 
  his 
  concluding 
  field 
  labours 
  on 
  

   the 
  Boundary 
  between 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  and 
  Mexico 
  has 
  been 
  submitted 
  to 
  me 
  by 
  the 
  

   kindness 
  of 
  the 
  Commissioner, 
  Major 
  W. 
  II. 
  Emory: 
  and 
  in 
  it, 
  with 
  many 
  most 
  beautiful 
  

   species 
  of 
  other 
  genera, 
  occurred 
  the 
  present 
  interesting 
  addition 
  to 
  our 
  fauna. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  in 
  form 
  and 
  colour 
  C. 
  sexguttata, 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  it 
  by 
  the 
  

   less 
  densely 
  rugose 
  thorax, 
  the 
  less 
  deeply 
  punctured 
  elytra, 
  and 
  the 
  pilose 
  front. 
  It 
  

   seems 
  in 
  fact 
  to 
  be 
  most 
  nearly 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  sexguttata 
  group, 
  tending 
  towards 
  the 
  pre- 
  

   ceding 
  group, 
  in 
  C. 
  rugifrons, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  obviously 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  serrate 
  elytra, 
  

   and 
  less 
  robust 
  form 
  ; 
  from 
  both 
  groups 
  it 
  differs 
  by 
  the 
  very 
  slightly 
  marked 
  teeth 
  of 
  the 
  

   lab 
  rum. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  should 
  therefore 
  form 
  a 
  new 
  group 
  immediately 
  before 
  V. 
  characterized 
  as 
  

   follows: 
  

  

  Thorax 
  convex, 
  sparsely 
  rugous; 
  front 
  striate, 
  pilose; 
  elytra 
  finely 
  serrulate, 
  not 
  deep- 
  

   ly 
  punctured, 
  markings 
  very 
  imperfect. 
  

  

  GROUP 
  VI. 
  

  

  On 
  renewed 
  examination, 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  powerful 
  lens, 
  I 
  find 
  that 
  the 
  tips 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  

   of 
  C. 
  splendida 
  and 
  limbalis 
  are 
  not 
  absolutely 
  free 
  from 
  scrratures. 
  In 
  the 
  former 
  espe- 
  

   cially 
  the 
  serration 
  maybe 
  perceived 
  in 
  most 
  specimens, 
  but 
  individuals 
  of 
  both 
  species 
  occur 
  

   in 
  which 
  almost 
  every 
  trace 
  of 
  serration 
  has 
  vanished.. 
  In 
  the 
  groups 
  I. 
  — 
  iv., 
  even 
  with 
  

   the 
  powerful 
  lens, 
  the 
  edge 
  appears 
  perfectly 
  smooth.

  By 
  the 
  kind 
  attention 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Menetries, 
  I 
  have 
  

  

  f~\ 
  received, 
  since 
  the 
  printing 
  of 
  the 
  preceding 
  pages, 
  a 
  diagram 
  of 
  an 
  elytron 
  of 
  his 
  

   species, 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  here 
  reproduced 
  in 
  a 
  wood 
  cut. 
  The 
  markings 
  are 
  cpuite 
  

   distinct 
  from 
  any 
  known 
  to 
  me 
  ; 
  Mr. 
  Menetries 
  informs 
  me 
  in 
  his 
  letter 
  that 
  the 
  

   labrum 
  has 
  only 
  a 
  single 
  tooth. 
  The 
  species 
  must 
  be 
  placed 
  either 
  in 
  group 
  vm. 
  

   or
