t-lytra dusky, which colour, f<jr they are really lurid or dirty yellow, 

 is produced by an infinity of transver.'^c black lines or furrows, bui 

 which at the lateral margin lose their blackness ; besides these there are 

 three rows of punctures arranged longitudinally but not regularly, the first 

 adjoining the suture, and the tuo others being discoidal ; between the 

 outer one and the margin, especially near the apex, are some scattered 

 punctures : the epipleura, and sides of the fore-breast, are yellow : le.ns 

 testaceous ; thighs and tibice punctured. 



'this species is intermediate between ('. striiUtts and C. Jolab7-atn3. 

 svith ibe former it agrees in the majority of its characters, jjariicularly in 

 the longitudinal rows of punctures, except that its sutural one is more 

 perfe<t ; an<l with the latter in the prothoracic band and the color of the 

 legs. '\'\\i.: transverse furrows of the elytra are rather deeper than those of 

 the first-mentioned species, and not so deep as those of the last. 



These insects, adding C. fuscus^ may perhaps be regarded as forming a 

 subgenus, whose connnon character is the jjeculiar sculpture of the elytra. 

 [.Synonymous with C. sculf^tilis Harris ; a species taken in Canada.]
