Differs from C. oceUata, Pasc, in its larger size, darker colour, 

 absence of light border, shape of prothorax and sculpture of 

 elytra; from C. geminata, Lea, in its more coarsely sculptured, 

 more transverse and differently shaped prothorax (C. (jeminata 

 being without the basal dentation), wider elytra and other 

 particulars; from C. morleyana in its widely different sculpture, 

 size and colour. 



I am indebted for the above note on C. geminata, as for much 

 other valuable information, to Mr. A. M. Lea, to whom I sent a 

 specimen of the above for comparison.
