broad as long; in fact, it is proportionably shorter than in 
any species of the genus. And the coleoptra, which are three 
times longer than the thorax, are more acute at the apex than in 
C. fumata. 
Having seen but one specimen of this insect, which stands in 
the cabinet of my friend and neighbour P. W. Watson, Esq., an 
acute entomologist, with whose name I have designated it, I am 
unable to speak as to the constancy of the colour of the elytra ; 
but as they are not of the pale shade of immature specimens, 
but of a dark red ochre tinge, there is no reason to suppose that 
they vary materially.

The most distinguishing characteristics of this species are the | 
straightly truncate hinder margin of the thorax, and the more than 
ordinary convexity of the body, which is such as to give i it in some
