The almost white marginal band of the elytra is sinuous just 

 before the apex, and is almost divided there by the brown discoidal 

 colour of their surface being prolonged into an acuminate point on 

 the suture. The disk of the thorax is clouded, but the wliite sides 

 are not defined by lines, as in C. ruhida, and sometimes the whole 

 thorax is W'bitish. Several allied species (as N. viridida Muls., to 

 which the authors compare this insect ; and C. paUidida= C. ruhida 

 var.) are light green when alive, which colour fades to a dirty 

 yellow. The elytra in some of our examples are paler on the 

 middle than towards the sides. Ten examples were sent by 

 Mr. Smith.

The specimens, seven in number, which appear to be referable 

 to this species, are of botli sexes (the males with yellow, the females 

 with black heads), but are somew hat discoloured, and seem rather 

 more deeply punctured than typical examples. The difference is, 

 however, very slight. The example from Grand Etang is a small 

 male.
