Nearly all the specimens resemble C. virgata (Chaud.) the 

 common form of the Yang-tsze valley, in which the tawny-red 

 discoidal vittae of the elytra meet on the suture near the apex 

 and reach the apex; but examples occur in which the vittae do 

 not quite meet, being separated by the brassy-black suturai 

 vitta narrowed at that part to the 1.'* interstice. This confirms 

 Chaudoir's supposition (loc. supr. cit.) that D. virgata is only a 

 variety of D. lineala. 



The colour of the legs is very variable ; in extreme cases all 

 the tibiae and tarsi are brassy-black.

 Rufo-testacea violascens, elytris limbo lato laterali viridi-aeneo; 

 scapo apice femoribusque dimidio apicali fusco-cyaneis (tibiis et

There are two examples of this distinct and prettily-coloured 

 species.

A single example immature and species therefore doubtful.
