tured, the abdominal segments with a row of punctures 

 across the middle and a yellowish white dot in the hind 

 corners ; the breast and the femora densely covered with 

 long yellow hairs , the middle- and hind tibiae thinly fringed 

 with similar hairs. The sternum is provided with an im- 

 pressed longitudinal line, the sternal process strongly por- 

 rect, slightly recurved at the tip. The anterior tibiae strongly 

 tridentate, the teeth slightly curved, slender and acute; the 

 intermediate tooth the stoutest. The intermediate and pos- 

 terior tibiae (especially the former) deeply notched about 

 the middle on the outer margin, forming a sort of tooth 

 at the base of the notch. 



A single specimen from Sumatra (Ludeking). 



This species belongs to the same group as C. pilifera 

 Motsch. from Japan {Glycyphana pilifera Motsch. in the 

 Munich Catalogue) agreeing with it in the strongly triden- 

 tate anterior tibiae, the deeply notched middle- and hind 

 tibiae , the scabrous pygidium , and the porrect mesosternal 

 process.
