unicolorous ; labrum testaceous, narrow, leaving the greater part 

 of the mandibles exposed ; the latter large, testaceous, with black 

 apex ; head broad between the eyes, which are moderately 

 prominent, dull bronze-green, with slight coppery reflection, and 

 with two obscure dark blue lines in front, sculpture very fine, 

 striation near eyes only visible under a somewhat high magnifying 

 power ; pronotum subquadrate, about as long as broad, with the 

 sides almost straight, very slightly narrowed behind, anterior and 

 posterior depressions well marked, central line feebly marked, 

 sculpture exceedingly fine, upper surface dull and coloured like 

 the head ; elytra almost parallel-sided, of equal breadth at base and 

 apex, much broader than the base of the pronotum, with the 

 shoulders well marked and deeply impressed between the shoulders 

 and scutellum ; closely asperately and distinctly sculptured in 

 front, more obsoletely behind ; legs long, green, knees and 

 underside of tibiae more or less red, tibiae more or less fuscous, 1 

 trochanters clear red ; underside coppery, with the sides of the

Very like the preceding at first 

 sight in shape and colour, (ob- 

 scure greenish-bronze, very dull), 

 but easily distinguished by the 

 narrower and more rounded pro- 

 notum, and the narrower elytra 

 which are subrectangular and par- 

 allel-sided, but are rather more 

 abruptly oblique at the apex and are 

 much narrower in proportion to the 

 pronotum, with the shoulders not 

 so much marked ; the margin, more- 

 over, is not entirely white, but there 

 is a white patch at the shoulders, 

 a large long, very obtusely angled 

 triangular spot at the middle, and a 

 marginal line at the apex ; the 

 trochanters are red as in C. limosa, 

 and the pubescence is much the 

 same, but more scanty, the epi- 

 sterna of the metasternum being 

 almost bare ; the sides of the head
