strongly rounded on the sides, with a rather feeble, granular 

 ridge towards the base; subapical constriction rather feeble; 

 median impression only traceable in front and behind: closely 

 set with rather large, round granules; sides granulate above. 

 Elytra (5x3 ram.) suboval, elongate; base not emarginate, 

 humeral angles rounded; disc moderately convex from side to 

 side; stria? moderately deep, punctures small; interstices with 

 small, setigerous granules, more evident towards the declivity 

 and sides ; lateral interstices non-granulate. Undersurface 

 flattened, base feebly concave; punctures obscured by clothing, 

 apparently small and sepai'ate. Anterior coxa- contiguous ; 

 anterior tibiae feebly curved, posterior straight. 



^. Somewhat larger ; undersurface very slightly convex.

This species is the smallest one known to me, and may readily 

 be recognised by the peculiar, supraorbital crests, in conjunction 

 with the non-dentate sides of the prothorax. In general habit, 

 however, it appears closer to species like C. spinicollis, than to 

 the maculatus-sectiou of the genus. 



I am not absolutely certain whether I am right in considering 

 the type a male; apart from size, there seems little diflerence in 

 the three specimens before me; in the one I take to be the male, 

 the undersurface is, however, slightly more flattened than in the 

 other two specimens.

(J. Corapai-atively small. Black ; prothorax trivittate with 

 grey, elytra maculate, femora with a rather conspicuous, pre- 

 apical, grey ring, knees pale. 



Head flattened in front, the transverse impression between 

 head and rostrum hardly traceable; longitudinally rugosely 

 granulate, with two small granules on the forehead; supraorbital 

 crests moderately large, acute, upwardly projecting. Bostrum 

 very shallowly depressed above ; lateral margins not raised. 

 Scape moderately stout, thickened at apex, rather strongly
