1. CG. denticulata. Bright green ; mandibles slender, longer than the 
head ; elytra polished, with a subsutural series of impressed punctures, a 
subhumeral dot, intermediate triangular spot and terminal lunule white ; 
pectus, postpectus, and front in the male, hairy. 
Length half an inch. Inhabits Massachusetts. , 
From C. 6—gw/fata this species may be easily distinguished by its elon- 
gated mandibles, its pectus. and postpectus very hairy. and the head also,. 
in the male. The punctures on the elytra of this species are exceedingly 
minute and distant, whilst they are deep in C. 6—gu/tata. To Dr. T. W. 
Harris I am indebted for this and the: next species. ‘That gentleman, 
whose knowledge and labours are not less remarkable than his disinteres- 
tedness, has furnished me also with the following — 
Varieties. 
a—Elytra purplish blue ; spots as in the species. ult 
6—-Anterior dot of-the elytra wanting. [254] 
c—Anterior dot wanting ; triangular spot reduced to a. transverse line; 
posterior lunule interrupted so as to form a fourth spot. 
é—Jwo anterior spots wanting. 
e——All the spots wanting except the ter nel lunule which is Winer 
an abbreviated transverse line. 
/—All the spots wanting and terminal lunule obsolete. . 
[This is C. rugifrons Dej;, a variety of C. scufellaris Say. | 
2. C, haemorrhoidahs. airy, dull cupreous or purple ; elytra with a 
humeral dot, a round dot behind, a curved band, two dots behind, and a 
terminal lunule whitish, Deep purple beneath ; venter ferruginous.. 
Length: 9-2oths of an inch. . Inhabits Massachusetts. 
This beautiful little insect, also communicated to me by my excellent 
friend Dr. Harris, is very remarkable for its numerous markings, in all: 
twelve, on the elytra’ ‘she head and thorax are marked with purple and 
green, the thighs are green, and the sides of the thorax, peony and post- 
pectus are hairy,
