Allied to the comiuun C. rmestus of the Mexican plateaux, and helimging 

 to the same section, but much smaller, a little narrower, and the head very 

 different in the form of its l)road convex neck, which has above a slight 

 transverse impression : the eyes are con\ex, but the cheeks narrow rapidly 

 l)eliind them to the broad neck. The lal)runi has a straight fore margin, the 

 palpi have very slightly fusiform apical joints, and the antenna' liaA'e tlie joints 

 5-11 notably broad and compressed. The claw joint, which, like the other 

 joints of the tarsi, is shoi'ter and stcuiter than usual in the genus, is naked 

 l)eneath. The colour of tlie head and thorax aliove is nearly black, the elytra 

 are chestnut-brown, and the body Ijeneath as well as the legs, antenme, etc., 

 reddish ; but the colour of the underside is probaldy variable as in other 

 species of the section.

Also allied to C. nurdiis, but very much smaller and more slender, with 

 rather narrow oval thorax having obtuse, nearly rounded, hind angles pre- 

 ceded by a slight sinuation of the sides and oblique basal margin near the 

 angles. It thus resemljles to deceiiticn certain slender species of A(jonnm. 

 The elytra are elongate-ovate ; the legs I'ather slender with deep siilci on the 

 sides of the four hinder tarsi, the outer lobe of the fourth joint in the hind- 

 most pair being narrow and elongated. The elytra have a distinct scutellar 

 sti'iole, and the first stria has at its origin an ocellated puncture.

 Antisanilla to Pinantura (11,000 feet), Machachi (9-10,000 feet). Numerous 

 examjiles.
