Of this species, I have seeu only one specimen, tlie type, which 

 is somewhat rubbed at the base of the elytra. From the slender- 

 ness of the hind femora and the length of the antennae, it appears 

 to be a female.

" Closely allied to C. Ai-punctatus. Fuscous black, clothed with 

 ashy-yellow pubescence. Each elytron with five spots, as in most 

 specimens of C. Ai-punctatus, as follow : one curved spot behind 

 the scutellum, a small humeral spot, an anterior discal spot, one 

 median generally transverse and one longitudinally oval spot clo.«f 

 to it. 



" Very closely allied to the Mediterranean C. (?) -^-punctatus (F.;. 

 the only apparent difference being the larger size of the dark 

 elytral spots. The thorax, however, appears to be a little more 

 cylindrical and less convex both above and on the sides, and is 

 furnished with a number of large scattered punctures (besides the 

 close general puncturation), most conspicuous on the sides. The 

 spot behind the transverse median spot of the elytra is further 

 removed from the apex than in C. 4:-punctatus. 



" Length 6 lines.

In C. quadripimctatus, Fab., the species referred to above, the 

 femora are not carinate, and the hind pair are some\^hat shorter 

 than usual in this genus, those of the $ do not extend past the 

 fourth abdominal segment.

" This species closely resembles C. plehejus. The pattern of the 

 elytra is nearly identical, only in parens these are a little narrower 

 and more elongate ; the thorax is longer, not so wide and less 

 rounded at the sides, it is also less convex and more finely punc- 

 tured. The dark coloration of the elytra is a bi-ownish red ; the 

 anterior white baud completely surrounds the brownish-red humeral 

 spot ; the second white marking placed after the middle of the 

 elytra is triangular, widened towards the suture and more trans- 

 versely straight posteriorly. The elytra are slightly narrower, 

 longer and truncated at apex. Beneath the body is black, finely 

 pubescent. Antenna) and legs brownish ferruginous. 



" Length 10 mm.
