and indistinctly punctured ; the setix; distinct; the margins 

 of" the segments very sliglitly reddish. The legs are dark 

 yellow. 



The male has a very broad, but not deep, notch at the 

 extremity of the 7th segment beneath, in front of Avhich 

 the segment is distinctly channelled, and is, moreover, 

 furnished at the sides with dense black pubescence.

Allied to C fracticorne, but very differently punctured, 

 and ■with the front of (he head much more ])roduced. The 

 antennas are long and slender, yellow; 2nd joint about 

 equal to the 3rd, very little difference from joints 2 — 8, 

 the three last each a little shorter than the preceding one. 

 Head elongate, about as broad as the thorax, narrowed to 

 the front, the front part so much produced that the eyes 

 are placed behind the middle. It is quite dull, densely 

 and indistinctly ])unetured. Thorax narrower than the 

 elytra, longer than broad, ncai'ly straight at the sides, 

 rather closely but very shallowly punctured ; a line down 

 the middle impunctate. Elytra slightly longer than the 

 thorax, densely and indistinctly })imctured, o|)aque. Hind 

 ])ody finely and indistinctly punctured, with inunerotis 

 distinct outstanding seta^. Legs yellowish. 



Ega; one specimen, $. I have also another very imma- 

 ture individual from the same locality, which is ])robably 

 the female of this species; it has a very slight notch in 

 the last segment beneath.
