ous on sides and larger in excavation. Elytra the width of pro- 

 thorax; with irregular rows of large punctures in distinct striae, 

 hut becoming very irregular about apex. Pygidinm with vario- 

 lose punctures, almost absent along middle, but crowded in upper 

 corners. Spurs of hind tibice stout, and very unequal. Lengtii, 

 15|-17 mm.

With the general outlines of C. modestus, but elytra dark and 

 club of antennse considerably smaller than in the male (although 

 much larger than in the female); from the dark form of C. fvrf- 

 numi, it is at once distinguished by the very different clypeus 

 and single cephalic elevation; C. andersoni has the clypeus dif- 

 ferent, and the club much larger. One of the specimens before 

 me has the upper surface entirely deep black, but, on the other, 

 it is obscurely diluted with red; on the latter specimen, the 

 clypeus is distinctly bilobed in front, but, on the other, it is 

 almost simple there. Some of the elytral stria^ are irregularly

Black ; prothorax and legs red, tarsi paler, antennse dull 

 piceous-brown, the two basal joints somewhat brightei-. Some- 

 what irregularly clothed with depressed, more or less stramineous 

 pubescence. 



Head with dense, partially concealed punctures; with a fine 

 transverse carina near the base, and a very feeble longitudinal 

 one near each eye; these large and prominent. Antennae long 

 and thin, second joint very short, third slightly shorter than 

 first, and slightly longer than fourth, fourth to sixth somewhat 

 wider than the others, fourth to tenth slightly produced on one 

 side at apex, eleventh very thin, and conspicuously longer than 

 tenth. Prothorax at base almost twice as wide as the median 

 length, front angles rounded, hind ones strongly produced and 

 acutely carinated: front margin carinated, the carina on each 

 side with a short spur extended towards but not meeting the one
