rectis, tomento griseo-umbrino maculisque tiibus, basali elongata, 

 brunneo-velutinis, seriatis, prope suturam positis ornatis, supra 

 convexa, postice declivia, tuberculis validis conicis tri-seriatis 

 costas distinctas formantibus in singulo prsedita, costa juxta 

 suturali quadri-tuberculata, coeteris e tuberculis numerosis confertis 

 formatis, iuterstitiis granulis acutis obsitis, sutura utrinque serru- 

 lata ; epipleura pedesque crebre granulata. Long. 12-14 mm ; lat. 

 7^-9 mm. 



As massive as C. spinosa, Per., but a little less parallel ; the 

 spines on the elytra are not so long, and those on the juxta-sutural 

 costa are less numerous.

Praecedenti affinis ; differt prothorace antice magis attenuate, 

 lateribus basi apiceque in spinam validam productis, elytris 

 brevioribus atque at latera latioribus, costa juxta suturali tri-tubercu- 

 lata tuberculisque validioribus. Long. 10-12 mm. ; lat. 7^-9^ mm. 



The general facies of this species differs from that of the preceding 

 species owing to the elytra being a little shorter and a little more 

 ampliate laterally ; the indumentum is more greyish on the upper 

 part, the three velvety brown patches at the base and in the median 

 and post-median part of the second interval are similar, but the 

 juxta-sutural costa has only three distant tubercles instead of four ; ;;: 

 the anterior part of the prothorax is also more attenuated and the 

 second lateral spine forms the outer basal angle instead of being 

 situated a little behind the median part.

* This number does not include one or two smaller tubercles in the posterior 

 declivity, which are present in both species.
