C. signata Dej. Sp. Gen. 1, 124. 
Variat elytris albidis sutura sola viridi-anea, (mas.) 
Atlantic coast of Middle and Northern States; very abundant on the open sandy sea- 
shore. 
33. C. media, olivaceo-zenea, capite glabro, fronte vage bisulcata utrinque striolata, thorace latitudine haud bre- 
viore, albopubescente lateribus parum rotundatis, elytris punctatis albidis, sutura lineisque obliquis tribus (anteriore 
cum sutura confluente) viridi-zeneis, ad apicem serrulatis, subtus viridi-eenea dense albo-pubescens, pectore abdomi- 
neque medio glabris, ano testaceo, labro amplo albo unidentato, palpis pallidis ad apicem nigro-eneis. Long. 
48—-53. 
Mas thorace postice haud latiore, elytris lateribus rotundatis; mandibulo dextro subtus longe dentato. 
Femina thorace postice paulo ampliato, angulis productis; elytris pone humeros angulatis, margine parum ex- 
planato. 
Sea coast of Georgia, and South Carolina. Very similar to the preceding, but always 
smaller: the narrower and less rounded thorax and the narrower elytra induce me to 
consider it as a separate species. The sexual characters are precisely as in C. dorsalis. 
The posterior one of the three oblique lines of the elytra is frequently connected with the 
suture. 
34. C. Saulcyi, olivaceo-znea, capite glabro, fronte vage bisulcata, utrinque striolata, thorace latitudine haud 
breviore, albopubescente lateribus rotundatis, elytris punctatis albidis, sutura lineisque tribus obliquis (seepe cum su- 
tura coniunctis) viridi-zneis, ad apicem serrulatis, subtus viridi-zenea dense albopubescens, pectore abdominisque me- 
dio glabris, ano testaceo, labro amplo albo unidentato, palpis pallidis ad apicem nigro-zneis. 
Mas thorace postice vix ampliato, elytris lateribus late rotundatis; mandibulo dextro subtus breviter obtuse den- 
tato. Long. 36—-41. 
Femina thorace postice valde ampliato, angulis paulo productis, elytris pone humeros obtuse angulatis vix ex- 
planatis. Long. -37—-43.

C. venusta Ferté, Rey. Zool. 1841, 37. 
Variat elytris albidis sutura sola enea; femina. 
Sea shore of the Gulf of Mexico (Texas, Louisiana, Florida:) the variety was found at 
Key West, by Dr. W. L. Jones. This species is also very closely related to the two pre- 
ceding, and except by the difference in size and in the form of the inferior tooth of the 
right mandible of the male, is hardly separated from C. dorsalis. The elytra are however 
narrower in both sexes, and the thorax is somewhat longer and less rounded on the sides. 
The bronze markings of the elytra are usually much broader, and the posterior one is 
frequently lobed. 
GROUP XII. 
Maritime, salt marsh, or fluviatile species, having the right mandible of the male some- 
times toothed near the tip, as in the preceding group, but sometimes, (form 2,) normal.
