This species agrees in shape and size almost entirely with 

 C. violacea^ the antennae are also of similar colour and structure 

 as well as the thorax, but the elytra are of aeneous colour with 

 a more or less distinct purplish tint and differ entirely in the 

 fine punctuation and the minutely granulate interstices; of both 

 species several specimens were obtained.
