Resembles the preceding in the peculiar shape of its prothorax, 



but is very differently punctured. Compared with C cupripennis, 



the space between the eyes is scarcely narrower, and has no 



defined Isevigate portion ; the shape of the prothorax is entirely 



difierent, the puncturation of the elytra is very similar, the 



interstices of the elytra are more or less convex in some examples 



(? males), and the outline curve of the elytra (viewed from the 



side) is at its summit much further from the base.
