surface replaces the coppery green of dimidiata, vvhile pur- 

 piireo-iincta is a slighty more obscure form. 



In the series taken by Dr. Mjöberg both the dimidiata 

 and apicalis patterns occur, together with interraediate forms. 

 I identified C. semi-rugosa Thoms. from the Kerreman's Coll. 

 in the British Museum in 1907 and find it identical with 

 C. dimidiata Macl. n. b. In each of the above cases the 

 first name should stånd.]

 on apical half, feebly sinuate behind), lateral carina not 

 evident from above; a little explanate near the sub-rectang- 

 ular hind angles; disc without fovea or medial line, its 

 surface like that of head. Elytra slightly enlarging and 

 tumid at shoulders, slightly compressed at middle: slighly 

 enlarged and widest behind middle; apices united and form- 

 ing an even curve; disc with fine, scratch-like (longitudinal)
