and the depression, which is narrower anteriorly and widens out 

 in a somewhat arcuate manner posteriorly, is closely covered with 

 a black tomentum. 



Some female examples from Mamboia and from Delagoa Bay 

 agree with the example from Zomba in presenting the characters 

 detailed above. 



In a male example from Natal, which in all probabihty belongs 

 to this species, the following sexual difEerences may be noted : — 

 The first abdominal segment is entirely of a pale yello\^ish- white 

 colour ; the last ventral segment is flattened or shghtly concave from 

 side to side along the middle, and is only very faintly pubescent.

Cyanea, elytris vindibus siihnitidis leviter cupreo-tinctis. 

 cJ . Femoribus posticis basi intv^ fuluo-tomentosis, prope apicem 

 subtus bidentatis, dente postica paullo mqjore ; femoribus inter- 

 mediis subius obtuse denfatis vel tuberculatis ; segmento basali 

 abdominis medio longitiidinaliter subdepresso, crehre punctulato, 

 et fulvo-pubescente. Long. 14, lat. o| mm. 

 This species seems to be most nearly allied to S. bicolor, Lac. 

 { = f estiva, Gerst.), of which it has the general form. The obHque 

 depression at the base of each elytron just above the shoulder is, 

 however, more strongly marked ; the elytra are more nitid and are 

 greenish rather than purphsh in colour ; and the hind femora are 

 each armed underneath near the apex with two small teeth on the 

 outer edge, the distal tooth being only sHghtly larger than the 

 proximal one.

Supra obscure viridis, elytris interdum violaceo plus minusve timtis; 



pronoto sat dense punctato, interstitiis minutius puiwtidatis ; 



elytris crebre punctatis, sidtrugulosis, interstitiis minute punciu- 



latis ; corpore subtus cyaneo-violaceo, pedibus cyaneis ; aMiculis 



quinque ultimis antennarum sat fortiter dilatatis. Long. 12 mm. 



Upperside of a rather dark greenish colour, with the elytra in 



some examples more or less strongly tinged with violet or purple. 



Pronotum with some larger and less thickly distributed punctures, 



the intervals between which are thickly and minutely punctulate. 



Elytra closely punctured, with many of the punctures drawn out 



in a transverse direction so as to give to the elytra a shghtly 



rugulose appearance, and with the interstices between the punctures 



very minutely punctulate. 



In general form this species resembles C. compressicornis, Fabr., 

 but differs in having the distal live joints of the antenna a little 

 more strongly dilated, and the pronotum and elytra more thickly 

 punctured.
