erect crested tooth which is so well developed in C. ceylonicus and 

 S. repens ; a similar structure occurs in some American forms.

 been recorded from any other countries.

nearly square, rounded posteriorly. Elytra rugulose, with a 

 fairly sharp costal keel, which is, however, very short. Wings 

 and legs long. Abdomen cylindrical. Last dorsal segment of

 antennae.
