them with one of Schonherr's types) to belong to that species. 

 It seems, also, that the C. cyanipen7iis of the Rev. H. Clark's 

 collection was represented by this species. 



According to Gyllenhal, C. suturellus should be less than 

 cyanipennis, with its thorax black, clothed sparingly with 

 whitish scales, and rufescent beneath on the apical margin ; 

 the striae of its elytra obsoletely punctured, and the interstices 

 flat, the suture densely clothed with whitish scales in 

 front, its legs clothed with whitish scales, and all its femora 

 armed beneath with an obtuse tooth. Mr. Tylden's insect is, 

 on the contrary, equal in size to (one in my possession being 

 rather larger than) C. ci/anipennis, with the thorax entirely 

 greenish, exhibiting no trace of scales, and with no red 

 margin beneath, the stria? of the elytra strongly punctate, 

 with the interstices somewhat elevated, the base of the suture 

 only slightly — and the legs not at all~squamose, and the 

 anterior femora not toothed. Mr. Crotch considers these 

 discrepancies set at rest by M. Brisout's verdict on his 

 specimens. 



Compared with C. cyanipenniSf Mr. Tylden's insect has 

 the rostrum longer and nearly glabrous (in the female), the 

 head not so depressed between the eyes, the thorax destitute 

 of setae and with its anterior margin not reflexed, the elytra 

 more convex, with rounder interstices and no setae j it is also 

 brighter in colour.

Mr. Crotch (Ent. 33, p. 134) states that this species (sunk 



by Walton, but retained in the European Catalogues) is much 



commoner than C. thapsus, and has the rostrum in the female 



smooth and attenuate.
