CICmUELIDiE. 



against the light, when they appear to be finely honeycombed ; 

 on each there is a transverse orange-yellow patch at the shoulder 

 reaching nearly to scutellum, and from this proceeds a narrow 

 longitudinal stripe reaching to beyond the middle and followed 

 by two slightly broader longitudinal spots, the last one nearly 

 touching the apex, the whole forming an interrupted stripe ; 

 extreme margins of elytra violaceous ; legs coppery, green and 

 cyaneous, trochanters red ; underside green and violaceous, with 

 the sides of the abdomen, the margins of the posterior coxae, and 

 the sterna pubescent ; episterna of meta- and pro-sternum and the 

 genae bare. 



Length 14-15 millim.

In colour this species bears a resemblance to C. hamiltoniana,. 

 although in other points it is quite distinct. 



The confusion between this species and the variety of C. mouhoti 

 which bears the same name has, apparently, been caused by 

 Schmidt-Groebel's figure (/. c), which has the eyes much too pro- 

 minent, and resembles Fleutiaux' species rather than his own ; 

 no two insects, however, in one genus, could well be more 

 distinct. 



Yar. flavolineata, Chaud. 



This beautiful variety bears a very striking superficial resem- 

 blance to C. hamiltoniana, the broad yellow lines on the elytra 

 extending from the shoulder to the apex, and being straight and 

 regular, except for a slight wave on the internal side a little before 

 the apex. 



Length 15 millim.

Front parts green, finely and rugosely sculptured ; head large, 

 forehead broad between the eyes, antennae metallic green at base, 

 ferruginous towards apex ; pronotum about as long as head without 

 the labrum, transverse, subparallel-sided, slightly narrowed to the 

 base, with a few fugitive setae at the sides ; elytra dark greenish 

 cyaneous, or bluish, much more blue than the front parts, dull, 

 with very fine sculpture, almost smooth, and without spots ; 

 underside of the front parts violaceous or partly green, of the 

 abdomen dark, with the apex and side margins reddish ; legs
