a. Capite thorace elytrisque margine latiore viridibus. C. splendida Hentz, Trans. Am. Phil: Soe. 3,

c. Purpureo-cyanea, elytrorum disco obscure viridi.( @ ) 
Extensively diffused, yet not with the races intermingled: the localities of the specimens 
observed are as follows: a. New York and New Jersey, on wooded hills: @—a. Eastport, 
Maine, Dr. Harris: @—b. Rockport, Ohio, and Fort Gratiot, Dr. Kirtland, also in Mis- 
sourl, Dr. Hoy; G—y. New York; y—a and b. Southern and Western states; y—c. Ar- 
kansas, Dr. Schaum. Very closely allied to the next, and in fact the only difference that 
can be perceived is the direction of the origin of the middle band which is perpendicular 
in the present, and oblique in the next: yet the specimen 8—d would invalidate even 
this character. The head and thorax of the next are proportionally a little larger, and 
the thorax seems more narrowed behind, and less tubulated in front by the anterior 
constriction, but these differences are not very obvious. 
14. C. purpurea, supra varicolor, thorace marginibus (exemplis nigris exceptis) viridibus, capiteque disco se- 
pius purpureo-cupreis, valde rugosis, elytris elevato-punctatis, sutura seepissime virescente, fascia-paulo sinuata sub- 
obliqua ad medium, lunulaque apicali seepius interrupta albis, limbo laterali (exemplis nigris exceptis) late viridi 
minus distincte punctato, margine extimo cuprascente. Long. -5—-6.

Variety a. is extensively diffused through the middle and Western States: varieties b. 
and c. occur only at the West. I have them from Lake Superior, Wisconsin, and Ne- 
braska: in the last mentioned region the type did not occur. A specimen with dull green 
elytra and coppery reflections, which seems intermediate between a and b, occurred at 
New York.
