pauUo longioribus, articulis apicalibus quam prsecedentes 



haud brevioribus ; prothorace sat perspicue punctulato 



antice sat fortiter bisinuato, hoc (exempli typici) utrinque ad 



basin oblique impresso ; elytris sat fortiter (quam C. cupri- 



jyennis multo magis grosse) seriatim punctuiatis, interstitiis 



planis sparsim subtiliter punctuiatis et puncturis raajoribus 



sparsissimis (his setas subtiles fulvas erectas ferentibns) 



instructis, epipleuris setis erectis sat crebre vestitis ; 



raetasterni episternis perspicue punctuiatis ; abdomine crebre 



minus subtiliter punctulato, minus perspicue rugato ; cetera 



ut C. majoris. [hong, 8, lat. 4 J lines. 



The elongate fine sette sparingly sprinkled over the elytra and 



quite thickly clothing the epipleurje, render this a most distinct 



species. The interval between the eyes is about half as wide as 



in C. cupripennis. The outline curve of the elytra (viewed from 



the side) is moderately arched and its summit is slightly in front 



of the middle.
