Belongs to the small gi'oup of species (jf which ('. cephalotea (Chaud.) is a 

 member, peculiar to high elevations in the Andes, and distinguislied by 

 the very large head, elongated anteriorly and tumid around and behind 

 the eyes, the rather short antenna', and obtusely-rounded aj^ex of the elytra. 

 It is much broader and larger than C. cephalotes, and resembles, at first sight, 

 a Pterodichus or small Pcrcus, but the head has only A^ery shallow frontal 

 furrows. The palpi are moderately elongated, with the apical joints nearly 

 cylindrical. The thorax has advanced anterior angles and oljtuse posterioi' 

 angles roiinded at their apices, the sides being nearly straight without the 

 slightest sinuation near the liase. The soles of the tarsi have a rather dense
