Closely allied to C. longicornis Pasc. but distinguished by 

 the different color , by the head being beneath evidently punc- 

 tured, and by the other characters above mentioned. Head 

 long , narrower at the base , notched and tuberculate , 

 deeply separated from the neck; above with a longitudi- 

 nal groove and moderately convex towards the front. Ros- 

 trum with a shallow groove extending almost up to the apex : 

 the basal part as long as twice the head and gradually 

 narrower towards the antennae , at the insertion of these 

 a little widened, rounded and raised; the apical part very 

 short , slightly broader , emarginate at the apex ; beneath 

 the portion of the rostrum towards the autenuEe has a 

 keel in the middle , the rest and the head are scattered with 

 punctures. In the female the head is shorter than in the 

 male, broader, with the base strongly notched; the basal 

 part of the rostrum is longer than the head and excavated, 

 the apical portion equal in length to the head and filiform : 

 beneath the head and the base of the rostrum are punc- 

 tured , the apical part glossy. Antennae filiform , with the 

 1st joint stouter than the others and clavate , the 2nd to 

 8th cylindrical, of equal length, with the apex a little 

 broader; the apical joints longer, the 11th is the longest 

 and obtusely acuminate at the tip. In the female the an- 

 tennse are shorter than in the male, the three apical joints
