metallic green, these are placed one on either side of the centre 
of the disc, the two others larger and lateral, extend from the 
apical nearly to the basal margin. Scutellmn minutely punctured. 
Elytra much broader than the thorax, very convex, transversely 
grooved below the basilar area ; surface somewhat closely impressed 
with deep punctures arranged in irregular strite ; each elytron with 
three metallic green patches — the first oblong near the suture, 
the second on the shoulder covering the humeral callus, the third 
placed obliquely immediately before the apex ; a broad, sinuate, 
transverse band, commencing just behind the middle and extending 
across the elytron nearly to the suture, its apex curved suddenly 
backwards ; all these markings narrowly edged with, aeneous. 
Claws appendiculate. 
Length 7-9 mm.

Violaceous-blue ; broad and robust. Head strongly and rather 
closely punctured with a deep longitudinal central groove, middle 
of front produced into a short lobe ; clypeus separated by a deep 
fovea on each side, finely rugosely punctured ; antennae wdth the 
terminal five joints very broadly dilated. Thorax subconical, 
broader than long, coarsely and rather closely punctured, flanks 
smooth. Elytra very faintly depressed below^ the base, the punc- 
turation similar to that of C. peregrinus , punctures subgeminate 
near the suture. Claws appendiculate. 
Length 10-12 mm.

c? . Head rather finely and remotely punctured, with a shallow 
central longitudinal groove ; clypeus wedge-shaped, separated by 
very deep oblique grooves ; antennae extend to about the middle of 
the elytra, basal six joints metallic blue, rest purplish, broadly 
flattened, broader than long. Thorax half as broad again as long, 
subcyliudrical, sides nearly straight, surface remotely and finely 
punctured. Elytra parallel-sided, with a very shallow depression 
below the base, punctured like the thorax, punctures arranged in 
close, rather regular rows. Blanks of thorax strigose ou their 
lower areas. Claws appendiculate. 
Length 6g-7 mm.

Differs from C. asptioclelus in the bright blue colour and green
