the rest of the surface is densely and finely punctured ; the other 

 interstices are moderately convex. The sides of the pro- and meta- 

 stornum are strongly and rather closely punctured ; the sides of the 

 meso-sternum and abdomen less densely punctured.

In its structural characters this large and handsome CTiIcenius is 

 intermediate between C. viola ceipennis and C. lugens, but does not fit 

 any of. the sub-sections of Chaudoir's Monograph. The sides of 

 the abdomen are irregularly and somewhat sparsely punctured, and 

 there are a few fine punctures in the middle. The metathoracic epis- 

 terna are not longer than broad, and are coarsely confluent-punctate, 

 the sides of the pronotum being uniformly but remotel}'' punctured. 

 The thorax is relatively large, and its anterior part is as broad as the 

 basal part of the elytra ; the marginal fold of the latter forms an 

 acute angle at the shoulders.

Closely allied to C. swaliilius and belonging to the same group, 

 but of different facies, owing to the form of the thorax — more 

 quadrate, with sides only very slightly rounded at about the middle. 

 The elytra are very much more finely and closely punctured and less 

 shining, but the punctures are less numerous on the interstices 1, 3, 5 

 and 7 than on the alternate ones. The metathoracic episterua are 

 quite as short as in C. swahilius, but less closely punctured.
