Mt. Niohozan ; flies like C. Japonica. 



In colour and sculpture of the elytra this species, 

 according to the description, must greatly resemble 

 C. Sachalinensis of Morawitz; but it cannot be the same, 

 as it is much nearer C. Japonica than C. gallica and 

 si/lvicola, with which latter alone Morawitz compares 

 his species, and the form of the median fascia "more 

 transverse " than C. gallica, besides the position of the 

 subapical spot, which he terms "marginal," whereas it 

 is remote from the margin, do not agree. The sculp- 

 ture of the elytra agrees with Morawitz 's description, as 

 far as the mixture of shallow punctures and obtuse 

 granules goes, but there are in addition distinct traces 

 of the rows of larger punctures characteristic of the 

 C. sylvatica group, of which Morawitz makes no mention ; 

 these punctures are very distinct along the basal de- 

 pression on each elytron, but distinct traces also exist of 

 the longitudinal row towards the suture. The under side of 

 the thorax and the femora, with the sides of the basal ven- 

 tral segments, are coppery red, scarcely shining, the rest 

 of the abdomen and the legs brassy green ; the sides of the 

 sterna and the femora are clothed with coarse hair. The 

 median fascia of the elytra is similar to that of C. sylvatica, 

 with the important difference that it bends in the middle 

 at a much more acute angle, and the inner part, or hook, 

 dips down more and is much narrower than the outer or 

 marginal part.
