Dej. Spec. 1. 67; Icon. 1. 22. pi. 3. Steph. Manual, p. 5. 

 C. hybrida, Steph. Mand. 1.8. 



In structure this species is similar to hybrida, but is usually 

 smaller and more slender ; in colour more variable, being more or 

 less coppery, purplish, olivaceous, or lighter green. The spots on 

 the elytra chiefly distinguish it, the humeral one being larger, and 

 the central band considerably deflexed. Length 6 lines. 



It is a maritime species, and found in profusion on the sandy 

 coasts of Devonshire, Dorset and South Wales, and between 

 Christchurch and Bournemouth, Hants ; and in countless mul- 

 titudes on the shore near Burnham Market, Norfolk, in July and 

 August.
