REVISION OF THE BUPRESTIDyE OF THE UNITED STATES.

One female from California, kindly sent to me by Andrew Murray, Esq. Resembles 
C. fe mo rata, but differs from that and the allied species by the more sparse punctua¬ 
tion of the upper surface, and by the more coarse punctures of the prosternum. The mid¬ 
dle smooth line of the latter, frequently obsolete or wanting in C. femorata, is here 
not visible. The anterior transverse impression of the elytra does not extend within the 
first elevated line. 
11 12- C. contigua, depressa, minus elongata, cupreo-senea, capite antice minus dense punctato, thorace 
antice paulo latiore, fortiter punctato, parcius in medio, canaliculate, elytris obscure xneis, costis indistinctis, for- 
titer punctatis, impressionibus utrinque duabus transvcrsis vagis puuctatis spatiisque contiguis parcius punctatis, 
apice serratis singulatim rotundatis, tibiis intcrmediis rcctis. Long. -30. 
Mas segmento ventrali ultimo brcviter cmarginato, tibiis anticis paulo curvatis, ultra medium dcntc interno acuto 
armatis. Femina latet. 
One male from California kindly sent me by Mr. Murray. Readily distinguished by 
the above characters. The impressions of the elytra are deep but badly defined, and the 
punctures in them are scarcely more dense than on the general surface towards the base: 
the portions contiguous to the impressions are very sparsely punctured. The prosternum 
is coarsely and tolerably densely punctured and slightly hairy. 
13—14. C. californica, depressa, obscure cuprco-xnea, capite antice dense punctato, thorace lateribus 
parallclis utrinque incurvis, rude punctato, cicatricoso, dorso profunde sulcato, costa utrinque lata Ixvi nitida 
calloque versus latcia notato, elytris costis solitis clevatis lxvibus nitidis interruptis trausversim subconncxis, 
spatiis depressis fortiter dense punctatis, subtiliter serratis apice singulatim rotundatis; subtus fortiter punctata, 
prosterno birto. Long. -70. 
Mas segmento ventrali ultimo profunde cmarginato, tibiis anticis ad apicern introrsum subito dilatatis et sulcatis. 
Femina latet. 
One specimen from California: Mr. Murray. A fine species allied to C. t r i n e r v i a, 
but abundantly distinct by its larger size, and by the less frequent connexions between 
the smooth elevations of the elytra. 
18. C. deleta, longiuscula, fusco-asuea, capite paulo pubcscente, baud dense punctato vage impresso, thorace 
brevi, punctato, et transversim rugoso, paulo pubescente, lateribus valde rotundatis, elytris rugose punctatis, bre- 
viter pubesccntibus, costis angustis, impressione ad medium foveisque posticis duabus vix distinctis, subtiliter ser¬ 
ratis, apice singulatim rotundatis; subtus cupreo-xnea, punctata pubescens, prosterno fortiter punctato. Lon". -31. 
One female from California: Mr. Murray. Very distinct by the short sparse white 
pubescence of the upper surface, and the very finely serrate elytra. The ventral segments 
have the usual triangular smooth spaces, but their angles are not prominent; the last seg¬ 
ment is rounded at the tip, and its lateral serration is very fine. 
Several species mentioned by the older authors, as coming from North America, are 
not noticed in the preceding pages, because they evidently do not belong to the fauna of 
the United States.
