Allied to both C. Tarandus, Thunb., and C. Mnissechii, Thorns, 

 (comparing specimens of similar development) ; from the former 

 it is at once distinguished by the pale chestnut and non- aeneous 

 colour of the elytra, which are somewhat broader and shorter, 

 and, further, by the totally different armature of the mandibles ; 

 from the latter by its larger head, and shorter and less convex 

 elytra; and, finally, from both by being clothed with griseous 

 scales, in which it assimilates with C. Dehaanii, VVestw. I must, 

 however, remark that the sparse distribution of the scales in the 

 specimen described is probably attributable to attrition. There 

 is an insect in the British Museum from the Philippine Islands 

 to be referred to this species.

This insect belongs to the second section of the genus, which 

 may be characterized as " griseo-squamose ;" it approximates 

 somewhat in general appearance to C. Dehaanii, Westwood, from 

 which, however, the peculiar sculpture of the elytra, as well as 

 the armature of the mandibles, readily distinguish it.
