This species very greatly resembles C. nobilis, and may be readily mistaken 



for it. But it differs in having a median dark line instead of a yellow one. and 

 in the length of the basilar joints of the metatarsi, the first of which in all the 

 legs is thrice as long as the second ; while in Mr. Templeton*! figure they are 

 represented as heing of equal length in C.nobUU, This character alone il 

 sufficient to distinguish the two species. I have named this species in honour 

 of Downes, Esq., Assistant Surgeon in the Honourable East India Com- 

 pany's Service.

Head with a triangular depression behind the eyes, with three impressed lines on the lace.. 

 as in C.coleoptrata; labrum and front hairy; labium divided by a deep median suture, 

 thinned at the dental margin, and covered with very fine hairs \ dorsal plates very con- 

 vex, with the middle portion elevated, and covered on each side with four or five irre- 

 gular longitudinal series of very minute spines ; posterior border of the plates deeply 

 emarginated and more rounded than in C. coleoptrata, with the marginal spines strong, 

 uniform and very acute. Prseanal scale elongated, quadrate, and armed with a pair of 

 curved, unidentated, sharp-pointed forciples. Inferior surface of the legs with a few 

 scattered fine hairs. The antenna- are not annulated, as represented in the drawing in 

 the 'Linnean Transactions,' vol. xiv. tab. 5. fig. 1. In General Hardwicke's original 

 drawings in the British Museum, MSS., vol. 11,002. no. (19.) 86, the longitudinal 

 middle portion of the plates is of a light red, or orange colour, and the metatarsi are 

 orange-coloured, except in the posterior pair of legs, which are annulated throughout ; 

 the basilar joint of the metatarsus of the posterior pair of legs is twice as long as the 

 second joint.
