beyond the central lobe, an arcuate impression in front of the 

 ocelli ; antennae with the first joint shorter than the second, about 

 equal in length to the third, first three joints clothed with rather 

 long hairs, fourth joint longest ; rostrum reaching the anterior 

 coxae, first joint scarcely reaching the latitude of the eyes, first, 

 second and third subequal in length, fourth longest ; pronotum 

 sparingly coarsely punctate, the anterior marginal area impunctate 

 and convexly raised ; corium thickly, finely punctate ; posterior 

 femora prominently spined beneath on their apical halves ; tibiae 

 sulcate ; connexivum ochraceous with piceous spots.

Allied to both C. nepalensis, Westw., and C. similis, DalL, 

 diifering from both by the colour of the antennae ; distinguished 

 from the first by the shorter and more regularly spined posterior 

 femora ; from the latter by the non -produced lateral lobes of 

 the head.

"Very dark blackish-brown, membrane uniformly smoky-brown ; 

 apical five-sixths of the fourth joint of antennae, the terminal 

 half of the pronotal tooth, the base of subcostal vein of corium, 

 an obsolete spot not far from the middle of the apical margin of 

 corium, narrow transverse bands of the connexivum and the 

 ventral border rusty-yellow ; the smooth point of the scutellum 

 whitish : rostrum, tarsi, and middle of posterior tibiae somewhat 

 suffused piceous-brown ; rostrum towai'ds tip and tarsi in middle 

 rustv-yellow ; trochanters, at least middle and hinder, whitish ; 

 back of abdomen dull wine-red, in the middle brownish. 



" S • Head before the eyes rather slenderly produced, the side 

 borders between the eyes, and the acute, angularly projecting, 

 antenual bases nearly as long as the longitudinal section of the 

 eyes, when seen from above strongly, obtusely, angularly bent : 

 pronotum only very little arched, tlie transverse impression in 

 the anterior third distinct, the otherwise straight sides marked by 

 an almost imperceptible bulging in, seen from above the pronotum 

 strongly narrows towards the front, the marginal keeling which 

 is also recognizable from above is expanded towards the front but 

 not laminate ; on the other hand, the corners of the neck exhibit 

 a remarkable slender pointed tootli projecting outwards and 

 forwards, which form an acute angle of 45"^ to 50°, and in its free 

 part is about two-thirds of the length of the upper transverse 

 section of the eyes ; membranal venation not reticulate ; antennae 

 moderately long, the slender third joint distinctly longer than the 

 first ; legs rather slender, unarmed ; rostrum nearly reaching hind 

 mar<^in of fifth abdominal steruite, the violet-black gland ' fore- 

 courts ' of the abdominal segments five to seven as in C. nodua.
