 and several shorter hairs in front of this row. 



Legs. — The third segment of the foretarsns and the fonrth of the hindtarsus

 much shorter than in C. assimilis Tasch. (1880). There are three genal spines. 

 The pronotal comb consists of eighteen teeth. The mesonotum bears two rows of 

 bristles, and on the back many additional small hairs. The metathorax and 

 abdominal tergites each bear two rows of bristles. The epimernm of the metathorax 

 bears six bristles (3, 3). The 7th tergite has three apical bristles, the lower being
