 behind, margins broad, flat, the borders folded upwards, the 

 anterior angles reaching the middle of the head, the posterior

I believe I have never seen this species, it is clearly not the 

 C. silphoides of Boisd, which may be a Cilibe ; De Breme placed

" Oblong, dull brown, narrower than C. sili^hoides, De Breme 

 with the prothorax a little wider than the elytra, its apex more 

 deeply and squarely emarginate, not semi-circular, and the nar- 

 rowly impressed line in the middle more strongly marked ; elytra 

 striato-punctate, the striae approximate ; body beneath and legs 

 glossy chestnut-brown ; sides of the abdominal segments wrinkled"
