Auteiinal joint 11 in (S about three times, in 2 barely twice, the length of 

 10 ; apical joint of labial palpi broad, sublunate ; iuter-ociilar fovea transverse, 

 deep, bifoveate ; penis-sheath of cJ narrowly produced and curved downwai'd 

 at tip. ■ 



Var. Elytra wholly uigro-piceous.

Apparently not rare in the neighbourhood of Kio de Janeiro. The 

 elytra are usually castaneous or rufo-testaceous with the apex black, some- 

 times wholly infuscate. The legs are testaceous with the knees broadly 

 blackened. A larger and more robust insect than the variable G.fas- 

 ciatuin, with the seriate punctures on the elytra less numerous and not 

 transverse, tiie interstices flatter, the eyes lai-ger. C. apicale may be 

 the Statyra praeitsta of Dejean's Catalogue.

(S . Elongate, rather narrow, sliiiiing; nigro-piceous, the palpi and 

 month-parts fusco-testaceous, the antennae (the infuscate joints 1 and 2 

 excepted) ferruginous, the legs and abdomen testaceous, the elytra with a 

 transverse median fascia (not reaching the suture or outer margin) and rather 

 more than the apical third (except along tlie sides and suture anteriorly) tlavo- 

 or rufo-testaceous ; the alternate elytral interstices and the head sparsely set 

 with very long, erect, pallid, setiform hairs. Head almost smooth, with a deep, 

 transverse, foveate, inter-ocular impression ; eyes very large, narrowly separated, 

 occupying the whole of the sides of the head ; antennae stout, about as long as 

 the elytra, joints 3-10 increasing in length, 11 nearly as long as 9 and 10 

 united. Prothorax subcordate, as broad as long, narrower than the head, 

 smooth, the transverse ante-basal groove deep. Elytra moderately elongate, 

 about twice as broad as the prothorax, gradually widened to the middle, 

 arcuately narrowed posteriorly ; coarsely, closely punctate-striate, the punc- 

 tures transverse and deep on the anterior half, becoming small towards the 

 apex, the interstices convex, the scattered setigerous impressions on the 3, 5, 7, 

 9 small. Femora moderately clavate. Penis-sheath narrowed to the tip. 



Length 7^, breadth 2^ mm.

One male. Separable from all the varieties of C. fasciatum by the 

 very long stout antennae and the greatly developed narrowly separated 

 eyes. The infuscate portion of the elytra, which extends for a short
