Bears a general superficial resemblance to C. variabilis, Blessig, 

 but differs from it and from others allied to it by the very 

 different shape of the prothorax, which in this species is distinctly 

 less wide, at the base, than once and two-thirds the width of the 

 front, and has its front margin very strongly bisinuate, with the 

 front angles distinctly pi'ominent and subacute, almost as in 

 C. micans. It is distinguished from most of its congeners by the 

 lateral carin^e of its prothorax being (not arched downwards but) 

 almost straight as viewed from the side. Compared with C. 

 ciqjripennis the interval between the eyes is about one-third 

 narrower, the head and prothorax are decidedly more strongly 

 punctulate, the punctures both of the series and the interstices 

 are stronger, the episterna are distinctly punctulate, the pro- 

 thorax of quite different form, &c., &c. The outline curve of the 

 elytra is moderately strong with its summit about the middle of 

 the length.
