12. C. patruela, viridis, olivaceo-brunnea, vel cyaneo-nigra, haud nitida, fronte subtilius striata glabra, capite 
postice rugoso, thorace latitudine breviore convex, postice angustato, dense rugoso, elytris punctatis, subgranulatis, 
lunula humerali apicalique interruptis, fascia media obliqua vix sinuata albis; subtus lateribus parce albo-pilosis;

C. consentanea Dej. Sp. Gen. 1, 63. (var. obscurior.) 
Middle States, in shady paths on hills. The middle band consists of a large lateral 
triangular spot connected with a small discoidal one, by a slightly oblique narrow line. 
GROUP VI. 
This group contains closely allied, and in fact undistinguishable species, having the la- 
brum moderate, slightly advanced and 3-dentate in the middle: palpi black in both sexes: 
eyes moderate, not prominent: head and thorax granulate and rugose, the front striate 
and pilose with erect hair; the latter not very convex, obliquely narrowed behind, 
with the impressions very deep. -Elytra moderately punctured, punctures almost always 
elevated, broadly rounded and not serrate at the tips; spots always disconnected, ante- 
rior ones frequently wanting; under surface with long white hair, which is sparse on the 
abdomen, but more dense on the breast. Legs not elongated, hairy; tarsi of the male 
with moderately dilated joints. 
The foreign species of this group (C. campestris &c.) have the elytra equably punc- 
tured, while in ours thé punctures near the lateral margin are less distinct. 
13. C. splendida, supra yaricolor, thorace marginibus viridibus, capite discoque sepius cupreis valde rugosis, 
elytris eleyato-punctatis sutura seepissime viridi, puncto humerali, altera posthumerali seepe deficiente, fascia sinuata 
perpendiculariter oriente, gutta anteapicali, lunulaque terminali albis, margine late yiridi yel cyaneo, minus dis- 
tincte punctato. Long. -4—-56. 
«. Brevior, supra purpurea, thorace lateribus magis rotundatis, elytris antrorsum paulo angustatis, convexioribus, 
fascia media completa, guttis marginalibus seepe obsoletis; subtus cvanea.
