  wanting. 
  Pectus 
  and 
  legs 
  sparsely 
  clothed 
  with 
  white 
  erect 
  hairs: 
  outer 
  side 
  of 
  middle 
  

   tibia; 
  densely 
  pubescent. 
  Tarsi 
  of 
  male 
  moderately 
  broad. 
  

  

  Species 
  of 
  sandy 
  and 
  bushy 
  places, 
  of 
  active 
  and 
  vigorous 
  flight, 
  appearing 
  only 
  when 
  

   the 
  sun 
  is 
  shining. 
  

  

  C. 
  pulchra 
  seems 
  related 
  to 
  C. 
  sever 
  a, 
  but 
  that 
  species 
  is 
  elongate 
  and 
  has 
  the 
  base 
  

   of 
  the 
  palpi 
  pale 
  : 
  the 
  tips 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  in 
  it 
  finely 
  serrate 
  and 
  somewhat 
  obliquely 
  nar- 
  

   rowed, 
  the 
  body 
  is 
  much 
  more 
  hairy 
  beneath 
  ; 
  and 
  finally 
  the 
  middle 
  tooth 
  of 
  the 
  mandi- 
  

   bles 
  is 
  smaller 
  than 
  the 
  others, 
  while 
  in 
  C. 
  pulchra 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  others 
  of 
  this 
  group 
  they 
  are 
  

   nearly 
  equal 
  in 
  size. 
  

  

  The 
  species, 
  which 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  known 
  to 
  me 
  are 
  North 
  American, 
  may 
  be 
  divided 
  as 
  

  

  follows.

  Guex:

  Very 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  the 
  next, 
  and 
  not 
  differing 
  in 
  form, 
  in 
  any 
  

   respect 
  : 
  the 
  labruni 
  is 
  however 
  white 
  in 
  both 
  sexes, 
  and 
  the 
  thorax 
  is 
  sparsely 
  but 
  dis- 
  

   tinctly 
  rugous. 
  The 
  humeral 
  lunule 
  is 
  frequently 
  entire, 
  the 
  medial 
  spot 
  is 
  triangular 
  

   and 
  large, 
  very 
  often 
  connected 
  with 
  the 
  humeral 
  and 
  apical 
  lunules 
  : 
  the 
  latter 
  recedes 
  

   anteriorly 
  from 
  the 
  margin, 
  and 
  is 
  prolonged 
  forwards. 
  Sometimes 
  the 
  humeral 
  lunule 
  

   is 
  reduced 
  to 
  a 
  post 
  humeral 
  marginal 
  dot. 
  Varieties 
  will 
  doubtless 
  occur 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  

   spots 
  are 
  small, 
  or 
  even 
  entirely 
  wanting.
