without any suture), so that the vertex ahiiost continues the plane 

 of the prothorax, and then suddenly becomes nearly vertical. The 

 pi'othorax is not much more than half again as wide as its length, 

 the front margin not quite 4 the width of the base, the sides 

 feebly arched, the surface punctured finely and sparsely. The 

 elytra bear very even and distinct rows of punctures, the punc- 

 tures moderately large (somewhat larger and less close than those 

 in the series on the elytra of C. variabilis, Blessig), and the 

 interstices are nitid and irapunctate. The underside 'is almost 

 devoid of sculpture. The vestiture of the undersurface of the 

 tarsi is black, the basal joint of the hind tarsi being very little 

 longer than the apical joint. The exact habitat is uncertain, the 

 unique type being ticketed "New Holland." The ocular sulci 

 being not very strong, it is perhaps well to note that if it were 

 placed among the species not having distinct ocular sulci in my 

 tabulation it would have to stand beside G. iridiventris, from 

 which the very much coarser seriate puncturation of its elytra at 

 once distinguishes it.

This species, it should be noted, bears much resemblance to 

 C. difficilis, Blackb., but may be readily distinguished by, inter 

 alia, its better defined and longer ocular sulci, and the seriate 

 punctures of its elytra becoming very feeble near tiie apex, 

 ■whereas in difficilis the corresponding punctures extend quite to 

 the apex without any enfeeblement.
