All anomalous species ; the arrangement of the stria:" at the 

 base of the elytra and the form of the clypeus associate it with 

 C. 'procera, Putz., and C. abhreviata, Putz.; probably it is more 

 closely allied to C. abhreviata, Putz., than to any other species 

 known to me, but the longer metasternal epistei'na seem to 

 preclude its being put with that species. The metasternal epis- 

 terna are much shorter than in C. .procera, being very little longer 

 than in C. gracilipes, SI., C. emarginata, Putz., or C. nyctosyloides, 

 Putz., but much narrower, especiall}^ in front, than in those species.

The above is M. Putzeys' original diagnosis; it is followed by a 

 lengthy description which, only omitting a few unimportant 

 details, may be thus translated : — 



The antennae are short, rather thick, incrassate, moniliform 

 from the fifth joint. 



The mandibles are short, broad, particularly at the base, rather 

 strongly arcuate, not very acute at apex. 



The epistoma is very lightly sinuate, closely united to its wings 

 which px'oject sti'ongly in an acute angle, the apex of which is 

 obtuse; the wings are less than usually divided from the supra- 

 antennal plates. The anterior elevation has posteriorly a broad 

 impression, which decreases a little in depth at the centre and at 

 the sides. The whole head is finely punctate. On the vertex a 

 hardly noticeable small impression is seen, and a little further 

 forward on the sides two transverse impressions, which extend a
