Dusky aeneous, with close grey pubescence; the head 

 rather coarsely and rather densely punctured ; the thorax 

 densely punctured at sides, disk rather less closely, closer in 

 female, liind angles obtuse and almost straight ; the elytra 

 punctate-striate, interstices rather flat, finely and sparsely 

 punctulate, exterior margins narrowly and somewhat obscurely 

 red ; the antennae, three basal joints reddish, others nearly 

 black ; the legs wholly red. 



Very similar to C. metalh'cus, Payk., but larger ; elytra 

 relatively longer and liind angles of thorax straighter.

 Corymhites selectus, Cand. Mem. Acad. Belg. 1804, p. 5.3. 



I only obtained two examples of this species ; one measures 

 14 millim., the other 17 millim. It is the only large species 

 known from Japan in which the thorax is very densely 

 punctured on the sides and disk in both sexes; the thorax 

 is rendered opaque by the punctuation.
