 The colour of the upper surface is somewhat uniform, but 

 differs from diflerent points of view, in some lights appearing a 

 rich green, in others coppery, in others a mixture of the two, the 

 suture in most examples being more or less golden. Viewed from 

 the side, the upper outline appears evenly and only slightly arched 

 (somewhat as in C. fervens, (xerm., not strongly convex with the 

 arch at its greatest height near the front of the elytra, as it is in 

 G. cupripennis, Hope). The puncturation of the upper surface 

 is much like that of C. fervens / it differs from that of G. cupri- 

 pennis by the stronger and less close seriate punctures of the 

 elytra. The eyes are much more approximiite than in either of 

 tlie above-named species, and are margined within by a well- 

 defined but narrow sulcus. 



This species appears widely distributed in W. Australia, and 

 the examples I have seen vary little except in size, and in some 

 being a little more elongate than others. The largest example I 

 have seen is 6^ 1. long.
