Female : Head as in the male, but bearing a transverse, lamini- 

 form process 2 mm. wide and 1 mm. high, truncate, but a little 

 emarginate at apex and with the angles sharp ; the prothorax has a 

 transverse carinate process close to the anterior part, angular in the 

 middle, and slightly oblique from there towards the outer sides, this 

 process is 5 or 5^ mm. wide, and is not very prominent, on each 

 side of this median carinate process there is a narrow and moderately 

 deep impression with the outer angle slightly tuberculose ; the sculp- 

 ture is the same as in the male, but the anterior part of the upper 

 side is more broadly rugoso-punctate. 



Length 22-23 mm. ; width 14 mm.

CoPRis iNSiDiosus, n. spec. 



Male : Black, shining ; head scrobiculate, clypeus deeply incised 

 in the centi-e and with the angles of the incision lobate, projecting 

 much and refiexed, gense disconnected from the lateral part of the 

 clypeus by a small incision, near the base there is a short, trans- 

 verse, laminate carina nearly 2 mm. wide and 1 mm. high, produced 

 in the centre into a short, cylindrical obtuse tooth about 1\ mm. high ; 

 prothorax closely covered with foveate punctures confluent on the 

 sides, and closely set in the anterior and dorsal parts, it is retuse at 

 apex, bi-sinuate at tip, the ends of the sinuation being slightly tuber- 

 culate, and it has a median longitudinal groove reaching only from 

 the base to about the median dorsal part ; elytra a little elongate, 

 convex, distinctly punctato-striate, with the intervals smooth and 

 impunctate ; anterior tibioo with the apical spur very distinctly 

 curved inwardly at tip. 



Female : The female is like the male ; the short cephalic horn is 

 replaced by a very small compressed one, slightly bifid at tip ; the 

 prothorax is also carinate in the anterior part which, however, is 

 not as much raised as in the male ; it might be mistaken for the 

 female of C. macer, but in the latter the apical spurs are not curved 

 inwardly at tip. This species resembles a little C. 2)crturhator ; it 

 is smaller, the clypeus is lobate, which is not the case W'ith C. per- 

 turbator, the prothorax is not granulose, and the shape of the 

 cephalic horn is different in the male, but not in the female. 



Length 13-17 mm. ; width 9J mm.
