with the second; fourth, slender, posterior, submarginal, reaching the apex; a short ob¬ 
lique elevated line runs from the base of the second to the subsutural, which it reaches 
opposite the first dilatation of the second costa. These elevations are all smooth and shining, 
the depressions are more coppery and densely punctured; body beneath dark-coppery, 
shining, coarsely punctured; prosternum flat, densely punctured, hairy, with a smooth 
medial line. Last segment of the abdomen with the sides oblique, lateral groove limited 
internally by a not very obvious serrate elevated line; lateral posterior angles of the other 
segments acute prominent.

One specimen from Texas in the collection of Mr. Ulke. Behind the posterior impres¬ 
sion, a little ridge, a part probably of the 2nd costa, becomes confluent with the subsutu¬ 
ral costa, which is entirely straight. I do not know whether this will prove to be a per¬ 
manent character. 
11. C. ca lea rata, subdepressa, obscure tenea, fortiter punctata, thorace dorso suleato, costis parcius punc¬ 
tatis, lateribus paulo inccquali, elytris costis solitis interruptis, intermedia posticc fere obsoleta, impressione postica 
transversa, apice serratis singulatim rotundatis; tibiis intermediis fere rcctis. Long. -35—-50. 
Mas segmcnto ventrali ultimo breviter emarginato, tibiis anticis paulo curvatis ultra medium dente interno magno 
acuto armatis. 
Femina segmcnto ventrali ultimo apice subinciso, tibiis anticis paulo curvatis.

Middle and Southern States, not rare. In form and general appearance, resembles C. 
d o n t i p e s, but is usually smaller and readily distinguished by the above characters. The 
posterior elytral impression is composed of two confluent lobes, forming a transverse spot; 
inC. dentipes the same spot, is oblique. 
12 . C. cuprascens, obscure cuprea, punctata, thorace subinacquali, subcanaliculato, lateribus rotundatis, 
elytris costis solitis intcrruptis, spatiis quadrato mox ante medium, alteroque postice majorc impressis densius punc¬ 
tatis, serratis, apice singulatim rotundatis, subtus cuprco-amea, prosterno dense punctato. Long. -30. 
Mas capite acnescente, segmcnto ventrali ultimo emarginato, tibiis anticis paulo curvatis ultra medium dente 
magno armatis, posterioribus rectis.
