Yellowish pubescence. Antennae not extended past the basal 

 fourth of the elytra, third joint shorter than the first and not 

 longer than the fourth. Prothorax rounded at the sides, more 

 narrowed towards the base than in front, the disc with a median 

 cariniform elevation posteriorly ; a narrow border at the base and 

 two transverse bands yellow — one band subniedian, slightly bowed 

 backwards in the middle, the other close to the front margin. 

 Scutellum pale yellow. Elytra dark brown, reddish at the 

 shoulders and near the apex, each with four yellow bands — the 

 first short"! and slightly oblique, at one-fourth from the base ; 

 the secoud submedian, curved backwards from the suture to the 

 middle of the disc and then forwards to the outer margin ; the 

 third and fourth directly transverse, placed one at one-fifth and 

 the other at two-fifths from the apex. Body beneath dark brown, 

 with transverse bauds of yellow pubescence — one on the pro- 

 sternum, two on the metasternum, and four or five on the 

 abdomen ; a spot ©n each of the meso- and metathoracic episterna 

 also yellow. Hind femora not extended to the apex of the elytra; 

 first joint of hind tarsus not quite so long as the remaining 

 joints united.

" Closely resembles C. speciosus ; dark brown in colour and 

 densely pubescent. Head aud antennre very short, covered with 

 white pubescence, the former with isolated erect long hairs. 

 Thorax cylindrical, with a slender elongated callosity in the middle, 

 often coarsely punctured and very densely pubescent ; in colour 

 grey, except at the base and the lateral margins which are bordered 

 with white ; this white edging in two specimens extends only 

 along half the length of the thorax. Elytra flat, parallel-sided, 

 ending posteriorly in two slender short spines, densely punctured, 

 clothed with dark brown pubescence, marked with white as 

 follows : — a somewhat dusky white crescentic band close to the 

 base across the elytra, over the suture, and extended almost to 

 the underside ; another that starts from the scutellum, along the 

 suture, aud at about one-third of the lengtli of the elytra diverges 

 sharply across at a right angle ; following that a straight trans- 

 verse band crosses the whole breadth of the elytra ; finally, t\xo 

 white marks at the apex of the suture that are connected along 

 the suture with the above by a white streak. Underside slightly 

 shining, very finely punctured and clothed with blackish-brown 

 pubescence ; the long legs show similar sculpture, especially in 

 those forms in which the hind pair are strikingly elongated.
