It will be sufficient to compare this insect with C. amabilis, 

 Gorh. The prothorax is smooth, not punctured. The scales of 

 the upperside are more greenish grey ; the pattern is very different, 

 very difficult to describe. The base of the elytra, a plagia running 

 obhquely outward from the scutellum, and a fascia-like spot form 

 by their union an intricate device in the basal half ; while an 

 oblique fascia, triangular in shape, and a sutural line, widening at 

 the apex, form a sort of 7 on the left elytron, reversed of course, 

 on the right, somewhat similar to the mark in C. amahilis and 

 C fea, but with the head more oblique. The single specimen 

 appears to be a male, and has the apical dorsal segment formed of 

 two wide laciniae of fulvous colour.

The pattern of this CalUmerus is difficult to describe, but very 

 neatly defined. The thorax is widely margined with white scales 

 before and behind, lea\4ng the middle and the sides denuded and 

 shining, but the bands of scales nearly meet round the sides ; the 

 colour of the parts not covered with scales is dark steel-blue ; on 

 the elytra are eight arese thus denuded, viz. two humeral, then three 

 oblong arese in a row transversely, two of them being lateral and 

 one common on the suture, then two lateral, then a small round 

 apical spot. These are all neatly defined by the white lines of 

 scales. The elytra in some examples appear nearly black ; the 

 punctures are large, the rows not very distinct, and quite confused 

 at the sides and near the apex. The underside is clothed in the 

 manner usual in this section of the genus, densely at tbe sides, 

 with white scales. 



This is a very beautiful species ; it is allied to the following 

 (C. niveus), and both remind me of C. ornatus, from Sumatra 

 (Notes from Leydeu Mus. iv. 110).
