even slightly widened to beyond the middle, and from thence somewhat abruptly 

 narrowed, the punctviation nearly as strong at apex as at base, slightly rugose 

 at base, closer and less strong than in C. scanicus, the pubescence rather longer 

 and more erect than in that species. 



From the above description it will be seen that C. foivleri differs 

 from C. scanicus in a good many details. Its shape and distinctly 

 duller elytra at once attract attention. In C. scanicus the elytra are 

 gradually narrowed from about the median third to the apex, and the 

 upper surface has a characteristic shining appearance. 



G. foivleri is rather closely related to C. subfumatus, Kr., but is 

 smaller, the anterior angles of the thorax are more strongly callose and 

 more strongly toothed behind, and the elytra are broader, duller, and 

 more strongly punctui'ed than the thorax ; and from C. hirtulus, Kr., 

 and C. thomsoni, Reitt,, in the much wider margin to the thorax. In the 

 strong punctuation of the apex of the elytra C. fowleri comes near G. 

 validus, Kr., and G. suhdepressus, Gryll., but is much smaller than the 

 :^ormer and has quite a differently shaped thorax from the latter.
