subtus glabrum, nigro piceum, abdominis segmento ultimo apice 

 flavo ; pectore profunde punctato. 



Allied to C. transversalis, Dej., but larger than the Senegal 

 examples of this species, and more ampliated behind ; the elytra 

 have no flavous margin, the quadrate patch is more median, larger 

 and entire, there are no traces of a supra-apical macule, but the 

 apical diagonal patch is of the same shape but not continued along 

 the rounded part of the margin. 



Length 17 mm. ; width 7 mm.

Chl^nius effugiens, n. sp. 



Niger, capite prothoraceque viridi-, elytris nigro-aeneis, ore, an- 

 tennarum articulis tribus primis, macula pone medium inter strias 

 3-8 transverse sita in singulo notatis pedibusque flavis. Capite elon- 

 gato, ad latera medioque profunde punctato ; prothorace latitudine 

 fere duplo longiore, ad medium lateraliter angulato (<?), deinde bre- 

 vissime sinuato, basi apice latitudine aequali, medio late at baud 

 profunde longitudinaliter impresso, vix lineato, punctis profundis, 

 confertis, brevissime setigeris obsito ; scutello punctulato, nitido ; 

 elytris elongatis, angustis, post medium perparum ampliatis, pro- 

 funde striatis, interstitiis sub-convexis crebre punctulatis, brevissime 

 pubescentibus ; subtus glaber, niger, nitidus, abdominis segmento 

 ultimo nigro ; pectore profunde punctato. 



This species belongs to the group of C. discicollis, bohemani, anten- 

 natus, &c., and is easily recognised by the angular median part of the 

 long, narrow prothorax. I do not know the female. 



Length lli^ mm. ; width 4 mm.
