38 DESCRIPTION OF INSECTS 



Head testaceous-yellow ; antennae subglabrous, and with the 

 palpi paler ; a black transverse line on the vertex ; and tips 

 of the mandibles and eyes black. 



Thorax colour of the head, transverse, subquadrate, rather 

 narrower than the elytra, angles rounded, a dorsal im- 

 pressed line which is somewhat indented before, a black 

 longitudinally rhombic spot each side of the middle, an 

 irregular smaller one each side at base, and a transverse 

 obsolete arquated one before ; all beneath and feet paler, 

 anterior ones five-spined on outer edge of the tibia, two 

 terminal spines approximate. 



Elytra paler than the thorax, each with a black, abbreviated, 

 vitta, furcate before, and an abbreviated, black, obsolete 

 band at base, striate ; strise acute, distant, impunctured , 

 margin impunctured. 



Var. a. Thorax rufous, immaculate ; head black. 



This species 1 might have referred to C. fureatns of 

 Fabr., had he not quoted for lineola a figure of Olivier's 

 which agrees very well with this insect ; an agreement to 

 which, when combined with his accompanying description, 

 no doubt can be attached. 



Is not furcatus the same insect ? I should suppose the 

 species named comma to be also closely allied to it.
