 abruptly in front on a level with the front margin of the 

 eyes; clypeus concave, sparsely punctured, rounded at the 

 sides, the front margin produced into a short, broad, re- 

 flexed horn, obliquely truncated and with the outer 

 angles a little produced on each side at the apex, and

 clypeus to a fovea just below the apex of the frontal 

 carina. Thorax coarsely punctured at the sides, more finely 

 so on the disc, basal margin trisinuate. Scutellum coarse- 

 ly punctured at the base. Elytra coarsely punctate-striate, 

 a dense cluster of punctures on each side of the scutellum 

 at the base; sutural apical angles slightly produced. Pygi- 

 dium, underside and legs with very coarse, curved and 

 semi-circular, strigiform punctures ; hind coxae and apex 

 of the abdomen transversely strigose ; mesosternal process 

 long, slightly incurved and obtusely pointed at the apex;

Hab. Sandakan, British North Borneo, 



Differs from C. horneensis Wall, in the very distinct 

 armature of the head, it is also very much more coarsely 

 punctured and the markings are slightly difierent. The 

 single female, given me by my friend the late W. B. Pryer, 

 is the only specimen I have seen.
