anterior lines strongly impressed; lateral basal impressions 

 elongate, very shallow. Elytra truncate-oval (6"2 x 3 mm.), a 

 little narrowed to base, very convex; sides rounded; apex widely 

 rounded; base truncate; shoulders rounded; striae obsoletely 

 crenulate, four inner ones very strongly impressed, weaker towards 

 apex, fifth, sixth and seventh successively weaker (seventh 

 very faint); five inner interstices convex, seventh and eighth 

 united at base and forming a short, rather broad and lightly 

 raised carina at humeral angle. Legs stout; anterior trochanters 

 not projecting at base of femora; tibiae with apical digitation 

 short, thick, two external teeth short, thick, prominent, inner 

 apical spine longer than apical digitation, obtuse at apex; external 

 spur of intermediate tibia? as in C. australasice. 



Length 11 "5, breadth 3 mm.

Two specimens, both apparently ^, were sent to me by Mr. 

 Masters. A very distinct species — in general appearance it 

 resembles C. aiistralaske, Bohem., but the smooth prosternal 

 episterna and peduncle, the emarginate-truncate clypeus, etc., 

 show it to be allied to G. yrocern, Putz., and C ohlonga, Putz.; 

 probably its nearest ally is C. monilirornis, SI., with which it is 

 associated by the length of the metasternal -episterna, but its 

 antennse, though moniliform, are longer; the head is larger, with 

 wider supra-antennal plates; the prothorax is shorter, less strongly 

 narrowed anteriorly, and without the rounded basal foveas of C. 

 monilicornis; the elytra are less convex. From^C. siimihins, SI., 

 it is readily distinguished by its thicker antennje; the form of the 

 clypeus; elytra more rounded on sides, the strise not punctate; the 

 prosternal episterna not i-ugulose on the basal declivities, ikc.

Oval, robust, convex. Head large, eyes prominent; prothorax

 striate, strise entire, fourth joining fifth at base, interstices convex,
