'510 Descriptive Catalogue [1896. 



front, not much ampliated in the middle and very shghtly attenuated 

 behind, hardly pubescent, and with a few much-scattered punctures ; 

 elytra broader at the base than the prothorax, subelongato-ovate, 

 narrowly punctato-striate with the intervals slightly raised, smooth 

 with a very brief pubescence in the striae, bronze-green on the 

 four intervals on each side, brighter green laterally, and with a 

 narrow marginal yellow band reaching the eighth stria, and not 

 broader in the posterior than in the lateral part ; under side light 

 piceous. 



In shape, size, and sculpture, C. angustatiis is almost like C. 

 tcnuicollis, the intervals on the elytra are not quite so much raised, 

 and the presence of the marginal yellow band w^hich is totally 

 wanting in tenuicollis will facilitate its identification. Length ll-n— 

 12 mm. ; width 6-b^ mm. 



Hah. Cape Colony (Grahamstown, Umzimkulu, Griqualand East), 

 Transvaal (Pretoria), Zambezia (Salisbury), Natal (Maritzburg, 

 Frere) .

Head and prothorax bright green, shining ; labrum, palpi, antennas, 

 and legs very pale yellow ; head smooth in the centre, plicated 

 longitudinally alongside the eyes, and punctulated behind ; prothorax 

 as broad at the apex as at the base, ampliated laterally from the 

 anterior angle to two-thirds of the length and narrowed towards 

 the base, somewhat convex in the anterior discoidal part, and 

 faintly transversely plicate ; hairless, and with a conspicuous 

 transverse basal depression between the two sublateral impressions ; 

 elytra broader at the base than the prothorax, subovate, with the 

 lateral sides somewhat rounded, narrowly striated, with the 

 intervals a little raised but flat at the top, hardly pubescent even in 

 the striae, greenish black with a narrow marginal pale-yellow band 

 reaching the eighth stria only, and of equal size on each side from 

 the humeral angle to the suture ; under side piceous, slightly 

 iridescent. Length 12 mm. ; width 5 mm. 



Easily distinguished from the preceding species by the subovate 

 shape of the elytra.
