Front thickly punctured, the punctures smaller than those of the thorax. 

 Thorax short, only slightly narrowed in front, hardly sinuated behind 

 the eyes, its breadth at the base about equal to its length; very 

 coarsely punctured anteriorl)'^ and on the disk (like the thorax of C. 

 peregrinus, Fiiessly), smooth and impunctate towards the base. Elytra 

 short, very convex, much deflexed behind, with a wide, shallow cir- 

 cular impression on each side within the humeral callus, and a slight 

 lateral transverse depression before the middle. Punctured striae 

 fine and regular, continued to the apex. Upper surface very bril- 

 liant, green if viewed obliquely, otherwise golden ; the thorax is of a 

 more bluish green.
