(cf. C. grand iceps, Piaget, and C. bicolor, Piaget). In the $ there is 

 one posterior row of long pustulated hairs on the tergites. Anterior

 being very small) clothing the surface of the tergite. In the V 

 each tergite bears two transverse rows of strong pustulated hairs 

 without any smaller ones. Hence if one is dealing with a $ error 

 is liable to arise at No. 29 of Piaget's dichotomic table, p. 513, Les 

 Pediculines.
