An example sent to M. Rene Oberthiir for comparison with Chaudoir 



typ 



was 



■ ; 



ned to me named C. 



nUidus. It resembles C. sphodroides, and has not much 

 narrower metathoracic epimera than that species. The depth and width of the tarsal 



















sulci vary greatly ; in some specimens the grooves are quite indistinct.
