1 and 2 have two short apical spines on each side, and the third tergife one. 

 The seventh tergite bears three or t'onr long apical bristles. Between the first 

 and second bristles of the posterior row there are on most of the tergites two very 

 small hairs instead of one. The stigma is rather large and rounded, being obtusely 

 produced backwards. It stands below the first bristle of the first row and above 

 the first bristle of the second row. The basal sternite of the abdomen bears a 

 long ventral bristle and a lateral row of three or four. The sternites of segments 

 3 and 7 bear on each side a row of five or six long bristles, with one or two smaller 

 hairs in addition ; while there are one or two bristles less on the intermediate 

 segments. The seventh sternite is rather deeply sinuate. 



Legs. — The bristles ou the forecoxa are not numerous. The mid- and 

 liiudeoxae have two bristles posteriorly at the apex. All the femora have 

 ou the outerside one long veutral subapical bristle, the forefemur bearing in 

 addition several small lateral hairs. Ou the inner surface there is a row of 

 hairs, of which the last is ventral and subapical, the hairs being four to six in 

 number on the hiudfemur and four ou the mid- and forefemora. The tibiae bear 

 on the outerside one row of hairs standing near the dorsal bristles, and on the inner- 

 side a row of foor to six shorter hairs. There are also a number of hairs at the 

 ventral edge. The three bristles in the subapical ventral incision of the tibiae are 

 rather stout. Tlie longest apical dorsal bristle of the hindtibia is one-third shorter 

 than the first hiudtarsal segment. This segment bears five pairs of bristles on 

 each side, and only one or two smaller bristles on the ventral surface. The other 

 hiudtarsal segments are also nearly devoid of bristles situated on the ventral 

 surface except the fifth, which is hairy. The fifth segment bears five bristles 

 on each side, besides a subapical hair. The measurements of the tarsi are as 

 follows : — 



Modified Segments. — On the eighth tergite (PI. XII. fig. 53) there are 

 rather a large number of bristles above the stigma and two long ones below it. 

 The apex of the tergite is emarginate. There are a number of hairs on the lower 

 half of this tergite, as shown in the figure. The stylet is about three times as 

 long as it is broad, being slightly conical, but becoming suddenly narrowed at the 

 apex. The tenth sternite bears two long apical hairs, besides a number of short 

 ones, and several short spine-like bristles ventrally and laterally in the middle.

This species is nearest to C. califondcus and C. ciliatus, of Baker, according 

 to the descriptions of these insects. Both these species possess, however, a row 

 of bristles anterior to the eye-row. In C. ciliatus, moreover, the abdominal sternites 

 have two rows of bristles, and the eighth tergite bears five long bristles below 

 the stigma. In C. californicus the mesouotum is described as having three rows 

 of bristles, and the first segment of the midtarsus as being distinctly longer than 

 the second.
