Q. Moderately elongate, opaque, the body almost glabrous; nigro-fuscous, a broad space along the middle of 
the venter, the covered portion of the dorsal surface of the abdomen, the hind angles of the pronotum, 
the outer margin of the corium to about one-third from the base and a small indistinct spot at the middle 
of its apical margin, brownish-ochreous ; the connexival segments 1-5 each with a narrow transverse 
ochreous or reddish-ochreous fascia at the apex ; the femora brownish at the base; the membrane dilute 
fuscous. Head transversely rugulose, with the produced apical portion parallel, stout, and a little longer 
than the antenniferous processes, which are as long as the large and moderately prominent eyes, the 
post-ocular portion short, the ocelli prominent ; antenne pilose, joints 3 and 4 with long projecting hairs 
intermixed, 2 about three and one-half times longer than 1, 1 reaching as far as the apex of the head ; 
rostrum stout, joint 1 a little longer than 3, 3 and the apex of 2 thickly pilose. Pronotum very dull and 
transversely rugulose ; the anterior lobe sulcate down the middle, and without trace of lateral or discal 
tubercles ; the anterior angles obtusely dentiform, short ; the posterior lobe with two anteriorly converging 
carine on the disc in front; the hind angles obtuse. Scutellar process horizontal, moderately long. 
Elytra reaching the apex of the sixth segment. Connexival margin moderately broad. Anterior and 
intermediate femora each with four very short teeth beneath before the apex—two on the anterior and 
two on the posterior edge. 
Length 20-23, breadth 5-7 millim.

It is by no means certain that the insects from all these widely separated localities 
really belong to one and the same species, and a description and figure of the Mexican 
insect are therefore given, taken from the three females received from Forrer. 
Prof. Uhler states® that the Mexican and Californian examples have the anterior 
angles of the pronotum less produced, and that those from California (like ours) are 
sometimes almost uniformly rusty-black. In the typical C. rubrofasciatus the 
pronotum has the lateral margins entirely pale and the anterior angles strongly 
produced, and the elytra have a reddish vitta on the clavus and a similarly-coloured 
mark at the apex of the corium.
