In general appearance much like C. sloanei, but the male 

 without a supplementary process to the palpi, hind-femora un- 

 usually stout (fully twice as thick as the others), and hind-tibii« 

 dentate. The abdomen appears to be composed of but four 

 ventral segments, with the apical one large, lightly produced at 

 the middle of its apex, and not concealing the complicated geni- 

 talia; the true first segment, however, is visible at the sides. 

 The elytra have the suture narrowly pale, but, in the middle, 

 there is a suddenly dilated, subquadrate patch, rather sharply 

 defined, but with somewhat jagged edges. 



Fi\^e females from Galston probably belong to this species; 

 they have the hind-femora not, or scarcely, stouter than the 

 others, and the hind-tibiae simple; the dark parts of the append- 

 ages rather less deeply infuscated, and the median patch of the 

 elytra is more regularly quadrate.

(J. Flavous and black or blackish, elytra black with a purplish 

 gloss, the suture and a conspicuous median patch iiavous. Cloth- 

 ing much as in preceding species. 



Head with eyes, mandibles, and antennae as in preceding 

 species. Apical joint of maxillary palpi large and conspicuously 

 notched on outer side. Prothorax with outlines and discal im. 

 pressions as on preceding species, but with smaller punctures. 

 Elytra much as in that species, except that the costal elevations 

 are even less pronounced. Z^(/.9 long and thin. Length, 6|-6Jmm.

In general appearance strikingly close to the preceding species, 

 but the apical joint of the palpi with a strong, median notch; the 

 notch rendered more conspicuous by the space behind it being 

 pale and membranous (it is much as on C. incisa) the hind- 

 femora also are no stouter than the others; and the basal segment 

 of the abdomen is quite distinct; the genitalia of the type are 

 very conspicuous. C. sloanei, which it somewhat resembles, has, 

 in the male, a conspicuous basal appendage to the apical joint of 

 the palpi. The undersurface (except the three median segments
