 A very distinct species. The punctures in the middle of the 

 lateral series (where t\?s'0 each in adjoining series form the corners 

 of a square) are much larger than any on the elytra of C. cujni- 

 peMnis, but they are gradually smaller in all directions, so that 

 the punctures near the base, the apex, and the suture are about 

 the same size as those of cuirripennis, and as they become smaller 

 they are more closely placed. The space between the eyes is very 

 much narrower than in C. cup7'ij)ennis.
