  Many 
  examples. 
  

  

  The 
  thorax 
  is 
  more 
  elongate 
  than 
  in 
  C. 
  glaucus, 
  and 
  

   its 
  sides 
  much 
  more 
  rounded 
  and 
  less 
  convergent 
  to 
  the 
  

   base 
  than 
  in 
  C. 
  tricolor 
  and 
  allied 
  species. 
  A 
  single 
  

   example 
  from 
  Tehuantepec 
  has 
  the 
  thorax 
  less 
  rounded 
  

   on 
  the 
  sides, 
  hence 
  the 
  hind 
  angles 
  are 
  rather 
  less 
  

   obtuse.

  Hah. 
  Cuernavaca 
  (Hoge). 
  Several 
  examples. 
  

  

  Notwithstanding 
  the 
  shorter, 
  more 
  rounded 
  and 
  evenly 
  

   punctured 
  thorax, 
  besides 
  its 
  smaller 
  side, 
  this 
  form 
  may 
  

   be 
  only 
  a 
  structural 
  modification 
  of 
  C. 
  beatus, 
  found 
  in 
  

   the 
  same 
  locality. 
  The 
  hind 
  angles 
  of 
  the 
  thorax 
  are 
  

   more 
  pronounced, 
  and 
  in 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  few 
  examj)les 
  are 
  

   preceded 
  by 
  a 
  slight 
  sinuation 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  margin, 
  a 
  

   character 
  which 
  connects 
  it 
  with 
  C. 
  tricolor 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  

   elytra, 
  as 
  in 
  C. 
  beatus^ 
  are 
  more 
  convex, 
  and 
  the 
  striae 
  

   much 
  more 
  finely 
  punctured 
  than 
  in 
  C. 
  tiicolor.
