Elongato-ovatus, modice convexus, nitidus, niger, neo vix micans; thorace crebre punctato, utrinque macula. 
parva rufa ornato; elytris anguste oblongis, utrinque decem-, basi undecim-seriato-punctatis, interspatiis

Long. 3 lin. 
Hab. Mxxico, Puebla (Sallé). 
Face angularly produced between the eyes; front excavated, rugose. Antenne 
rather longer than the head and thorax, slightly thickened towards the apex; joints 
cylindrical, the lower two short, equal, the third one half longer than the second, the 
five upper ones forming a slender club. Thorax transverse; sides obtusely rounded, 
converging from the base to the apex, more quickly so anteriorly, the apical angle 
armed with a short, oblique, obtuse tooth ; upper surface subcylindrical, transversely 
excavated on the hinder disc, closely covered with large variolose punctures; on either 
side on the anterior disc is a small rufous patch. Elytra narrowly oblong-ovate ; sides 
nearly parallel, the apex regularly rounded, the outer margin entire; nitidous; each 
elytron with ten, at the extreme base with eleven, rows of deep punctures; interstices 
plane; second interspace broad, flattened, the fourth and eighth moderately costate, 
the striae between these coste confused and less regularly arranged i in the middle part 
of their course. 
SPECIES UNKNOWN TO ME, BUT APPARENTLY BELONGING TO THIS GENUS, 
Odontota gregorii. 
Odontota gregorii, Chapuis, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xx. p. 6 (1877) °. 
“ Oblongo-elliptica, nigra, vertice antico carinato; pronoto transverso, lateraliter subrotundato, dense pune- 
tato, utrinque ad marginem vitta flava, sublevi; elytris postice ampliatis, tenuissime serrulatis, (octo-). 
striato-punctatis, punctis transversis, interstitiis 2° et 6° costatis, nigro-fuscis, interstitio 4° basi elevato 
et breviter flavo; femoribus partim flavis. 
* Long. 63 mill.” 
Hab. Mexico 1. 
I have not seen any species answering to the above description. In Dr. Chapuis’s 
paper it stands immediately before C. morio. | 
Hispa atricornis. 
Hispa atricornis, Say, Bost. Journ. Nat. Hist. i. p. 196 ; (May 1835)*; Leconte, Complete Writings 
of Thomas Say, u. p. 666 (1859). 
* Above yellowish ; antenne, thoracic line, and tip of elytra black. Inhabits Mexico. 
* This insect is figured as C. notaticollis; but I have subsequently discovered that the name has been used 
by Dr. Chapuis for another species belonging to the same genus.
