San Diego, California, on the sea shore, and in salt marsh. Though allied to C. ge- 
nerosa, the form is less convex, the elytra are more strongly punctured, and the labrum 
is shorter. Baron Chaudoir states that it closely resembles the Asiatic C. lateralis. 
20. C. vulgaris, eeneo-fusca opaca, fronte striata albo-setosa, capite thoraceque granulatis rugosis, hoc latitudine 
plus sesqui breviore, parum convexo, trapezoideo, fortiter transversim impresso, lateribus parce albo-pilosis, elytris 
punctatis, parce granulatis, parum convexis, ad apicem obsoletissime serrulatis, lwnula humerali oblique prolongata, 
apicali antice inflexa, fasciaque media rectangulariter refracta angustis albis; subtus viridi-cenea longe minus dense 
albo-setosa, pleuris cupreis; labro sexus utriusque albo breviusculo tridentato. Long. ‘62—-65.

Apparently found in almost every part of the United States. New York, Georgia, 
Wisconsin, Missouri. The green specimen was found by Dr. Townsend on his journey 
to the Pacific, through the Rocky Mountains, and was given me by Mr. Willcox. The 
variety with indistinct humeral lunule was taken on the banks of the Ohio River, below 
Louisville. In form this species entirely resembles C. purpurea, and bears but a remote 
resemblance (except in the forms of the markings) to C. generosa. The description given 
by Kirby of C. obliquata can however be referred to no other species but C. generosa, 
from which he separates the present by a number of characters of little value, neglecting 
the obvious differences. 
21. ©. fulgida, purpureo-cuprea, capite thoraceque rugosis, fronte striata albosetosa, antice viridi, thorace con- 
yexo, latitudine parum breviore postice subangustato, lateribus albosetosis, elytris valde punctatis nitidis, ad api- 
cem subtilissime serrulatis, lunula humerali oblique prolongata, fascia media rectangulariter flexa, lunulaque api- 
cali antice inflexa latis albis; subtus viridi-zenea ad latera longe albopilosa; labro breviusculo, medio prominulo 
subtilius tridentato. Long. ‘5. 
Mas palpis labialibus articulo penultimo pallido; labro vix obsolete dentato.

Platte river valley on sandy places. In one specimen the middle band of the elytra is 
slightly dilated along the margin (as may be occasionally seen in C. vulgaris) but it would 
never become united with either of the lunules. The form of this species is more slender 
than that of C. generosa &e.
