Description. — d^ (the 9 unknown): Allied to C. pulcher Brunn. 

 and runs to that species in the tables in Brunner's Monograph of 

 the Pseudophilinae. It differs, however, very distinctly from 

 that species. 



In size and general coloration agreeing fairly well with pulcher. 

 Head black and yellowish, the occiput blackish shading into yel- 

 lowish on the cheeks and continuing yellowish down to the mouth- 

 parts; mandibles, labrum and base of the clypeus and the sides of 

 the face piceous, front of the face dark reddish brown with an 

 apically pitted tubercle in the centre; on each side and just above 

 the ends of the clypeal suture the face bears a large erect piceous 

 pointed tubercle about as long as the clypeus; antennae piceous 

 basally, shading gradually to reddish brown. Pronotum without 

 carinae, the shoulders only slightly squared; disk slightly rugose, 

 truncate behind, gently rounded before, the main transverse sulcus 

 profound and situated distinctly behind the middle; prosternal 

 spines long, sharp and piceous, the rest of the lower surface of the 

 thorax light yellowish; the disk and the lateral lobes of the prono- 

 tum margined with piceous and the central portion of the disk, 

 especially anterior of the principal sulcus, light yellowish brown, 

 which colour continues down diagonally forwards entirely across 

 the lateral lobes. Legs stout and yellowish, the coxae, the gen- 

 iculations and the dorsal surface of the anterior tibiae more or less 

 infuscated; fore tibiae furnished with conchate foramina and armed 

 above on the inner margin with four tubercular swellings and 

 armed beneath with a double row of spines; fore femora less than 

 one and one half times as long as the pronotum, smooth above 

 but armed beneath on the front margin with three short black 

 spines; middle legs similar to the front ones but the tibia? have 

 three distinct spinules above; hind femora very stout and short, 

 the greatest width about three and one half times the length, 

 smooth above, beneath armed on the outer side with seven or 

 eight stout spines and on the inner margin with a smaller number 

 of smaller spines, all the spines piceous to the base; hind tibiae
