longitudinal impressed groove ; clypeus separated from the face, 
strongly punctured ; labrum fulvous ; antennae fulvous, nearly as 
long as the body, the apical three joints black. Thorax twice as 
broad as long, strongly narrowed in front, the sides very slightly 
rounded, the surface rather closely and finely punctured, the punc- 
tures at the sides rather more closely placed and of elongate shape. 
Elytra strongly convex, without basal depression, aeneous or pale 
cupreous ; the punctures strong and arranged in numerous and 
close longitudinal rows, those at the sides larger, the interstices 
transversely wrinkled, those near the apex longitudinally costate. 
Legs piceous ; femora unarmed ; the tarsi fulvous. 
Length 4-5 mm.

Closely allied to C. rafflesi, Baly, but the puncturation in the 
present species much finer and more closely placed, the interstices 
less swollen.

xxvii, 1889, p. 185. 
Obscure piceous, stained with metallic blue beneath ; bright 
reddish-cupreous above ; labrum and antennae fulvous. 
Head metallic green, finely and very remotely punctured, the 
vertex with a deep longitudinal central groove ; clypeus separated 
from the face, more coarsely punctured; labrum fulvous ; antennae 
nearly as long as the body, entirely fulvous, the third and following 
joints very elongate and slender. Thorax twice as broad as long, 
the sides nearly straight, narrowed towards the front, the anterior 
angles acute ; the surface remotely and finely punctured, golden 
cupreous, the lateral margin narrowly metallic blue. Scutellum 
metallic blue, broader than long. Elytra reddish-cupreous, convex, 
nearly parallel-sided, with a rather distinct but short transverse 
depression below the base, coarsely and closely punctured, the 
punctures arranged in striae near the suture, the interstices trans- 
versely rugose at the sides, the lateral margin narrowly metallic 
blue. Underside fulvo-piceous ; the legs violaceous, tarsi nearly 
black. 
Length 5 mm.

This species is closely allied to C. speciosa , Lefev. (Notes Leyd. 
Mus. ix.), but is much smaller and the thorax instead of being 
three times as broad as long is only twice as broad ; the femora 
are without teeth ; in C. speciosa they are dentate.

“Greenish-cupreous; epipleune posteriorly violaceous; antennte, 
underside and legs testaceous.
