Elongate-oval and not very convex, 'llio head and pro- 

 nntuiu opaque, the elytra dull at the sides and slightly shining 

 ui)on the black sutural triangle. 'J'he front angles of the thorax 

 l)ointed, the sides gently cnn-ved to the blunt lateral angles and 

 then concave to the rather sharj) basal angles. The o\iter 

 margins of the elytra distinctly flattened and well roundetl 

 and the shoulders blunt. The |)r()sternuni very blunt behind 

 the front coxai. 



$. The head is short and broad, c(uu>ely and rugoscly 

 ])unctui-ed in front. Tlie nuuidible is strongly romided extern- 

 ally and bluntly toothed on the inner edge. The mentuitt, is 

 rugoscly punctuicd and bare. The terminal fork of the front 

 tibia is long and the tarsi are shorter than the tibiae. 



(J. The body is a little narrower than that of tlie female. 

 The head is a little longer, not broad in front and slightly 

 swollen behind the eyes. The mandible is a little longer and 

 narrower, less curved externally and finely and sharply toothed 

 at the inner edge. The nienttoii is densely clothed with yellow 

 hair. The legs are little longer than those of the female, but 

 the front tibia is a little narrower and the middle tibia bears a 

 tufted lobe at its extremity hiternally. All the tarsi are a little 

 longer than the tibia\

Tlu^ type is a female, with which Waterhouse erroneously 

 associated a male of C. baladcra Hope. The actual male difters 

 very little from the female except in having a narrower head, 

 the niandibks showing the minimum of dimor[)hism in this 

 species. The legs differ little in length in the two sexes, but the 

 terminal tuft upon the middle tibia of the male is a pecuhar 

 feature.
