This is the largest species yet described of the genus. Of the 
species approaching it in size oblongus, Waterh., and Godeffroyi, 
Haag-R. (which I suspect are identical), are both described as 
having ten rows of punctures on each elytron—this having 14 
rows—while gibbosus, Westw., is very differently shaped, having 
the elytra very strongly convex—or rather gibbous—behind the 
scutellum.

nitida ; nigro-enea, elytris cupreo cyaneoque intermixtis 
micantibus ; capite inequaliter punctulato, clypeo antice 
truncato ; prothorace quam longiori fere duplo (postice quam

lateribus leviter sinuato-arcuatis, basi media lobata, angulis 
anticis fortiter productis sat acutis posticis acutis denti- 
formibus ; elytris pone scutellum conjunctim gibbosis, quam 
prothorax plus quam dimidio latioribus, ad apicem anguste 
rotundatis, confuse inzequaliter nec crebre foveolatis, foveis 
apicem versus obsoletescentibus, lateribus ante apicem for- 
titer sinuatis ; antennis prothoracis basin longe superantibus, 
articulis 9-11 brevibus; corpore subtus in medio vix per-

Somewhat resembling C. Childreni, Westw., but inter alia 
without the areolar sculpture of the apical part of the elytra.
