Closely allied to C. tximidipes, SI., of which it seems the 

 northern form, and from which it only appears to differ by its 

 ferruginous colour; prothorax proportionately wider; elytra a little 

 more deeply striate, the interstices more convex. The legs are 

 similar in all respects. 



I offer the following brief diagnosis founded on a specimen sent 

 to me for examination by the Rev. Thos. Blackburn : — 



Elongate, cylindrical. Head moderate; front punctulate; 

 vertex coarsely punctulate in middle and posteriorly from side to 

 side: clypeus with median part projecting strongly beyond wings, 

 lightly emarginate, its angles prominent, triangular; wings small, 

 rounded, strongly divided from median part and lightly from 

 supra-antennal plates. Prothorax a little longer than broad 

 (1-6 X 1-5 mm.), a little narrowed anteriorly (ant. width 1-3 mm.). 

 Elytra oval (3"5 x 1"75 mm.), strongly punctate-striate; fourth 

 stria joining fifth at base; a distinct striole at base of fii'st inter- 

 stice; the interstices convex, eighth well defined for whole length, 

 carinate at base. Prosternum with intercoxal part attenuate 

 anteriorly. Anterior femora tliick, strongly and roundly dilatate 

 on middle of lower side; anterior tibiae 4-dentate. 



Length 5-5-6, breadth 1-7-1 "75 mm.
