the base above the scutellum, two longitudinal series of punctures on 

 each side of the median depression and a few scattered punctures, 

 the outer sides are much depressed with the outer margin deeply 

 foveated, and have on the upper as well as on the under part a broad 

 oblong patch covered with a golden pubescence ; this patch is 

 granulose and has in the anterior part an elongated, denuded spot, 

 which is sometimes bifid ; elytra nearly straight from the base to 

 past the middle, aculeated from there towards the apex, very little 

 convex with the shoulders slightly callose, somewhat roughly punc- 

 tured near the base, and finely punctured from there without any 

 distinct striation, but having on the outer margin a series of moderately 

 large, shining, green foveas ; underside, glowing, metallic red, very 

 roughly foveated, and with long, thin, pale hairs ; legs dark-blue 

 above with the under part of the femora igneous. 

 From O'Kiep, Namaqualand. 



C. CONFUSA. 



Viridi-amea, nitida, capite prothoraceque rugosis, hoc sub-co?ivexo, 

 lateribus antice valde rotundatis, in medio hand canaliculato, ad 

 basim impresso : elytris elongatis, post medium acuminatis, rugosis, 

 striatis, inter stitiis plagis quadratis, levibus seriatis ; subtus, nitida, 

 pubescens. 



Long. 23, lat. 9 mm . 



Coppery -green on the upper part, shining, with a golden tinge on 

 the head and prothorax ; the former very rugose, the later convex, 

 broad, very much rounded laterally in the anterior part with the cuter 

 sides not much depressed, scrobioulated, roughly punctured on the 

 disk, with no median groove but with a faint impression and also a 

 small fovea above the scutellum ; elytra nearly as broad as the pro- 

 thorax at the base, almost parallel to past the middle, and tapering 

 from that point to the apex, strongly striated with the intervals rugose 

 and having some quadrate, smooth, raised, shining spots arranged in 

 regular series from the base to about the median part, but more 

 irregular from that point to the apex ; underside and legs very 

 shiny and rugose. 



Allied to C. Lalandei, C. and Gr., but broader ; the prothorax is 

 more convex, the outer sides are not so much depressed, and the 

 sculpture of the elytra is very dissimilar. 



From ? Damaraland.
