groove along the anterior margin ; posterior margin bi truncate, but little 

 bowed at the scutellum; sides distinctly angular. Elytra broadest 

 before the apex ; margins suddenly deflexed, the deflexions being of 

 nearly imiform width ; suture raised ; each elytron with three distinct 

 costae ; mesosternum simple, clothed with fulvous pubescence. Abdo- 

 men moderately thickly covered with small hair-like scales. 



Pygidium narrow, triangular, with the apex rounded, clothed with 

 small yellowish scales. Legs pitchy-red. The head, thorax, and elytra 

 are clothed with almost uniform, small, pointed, white scales in the ^ , 

 and with elongate-ovate scales in the $ .

C. niffer, squamis ovatis, niveis et ochraceis densissimis tectus ; clypeo 

 rotundato, reflexo ; antennis oreque rufis ; antennarum clavaelongatissima, 

 obscura ; protJwrace irevi, convexo ; elytris lineis tribus elevatis sub 

 squamis perspicuis, apice late dejlexo ; pedibus rufis ; sterno onutico, 

 griseo piloso ; abdomine squamis parvis, ovatis, dense tecto. 



Long. 9f lin. 



Head with a somewhat indistinct fovea between the eyes ; clypeus 

 rounded in front, but less so than in G. farinosus, margin reflexed. 

 Eyes prominent. Antennae as in the foregoing species. Thorax 

 without any groove along the anterior margin ; sides less decidedly 

 angular ; posterior margin bi-emarginate, the emar-ginations forming an 

 obtuse angle at the scutellum. Elytra with the sides nearly straight, a 

 little broader at the apex ; margins suddenly deflexed, the apical 

 deflexion double as broad as the lateral ; suture raised, each elytron 

 with three costae, the third somewhat less distinct. Sternum unarmed, 

 clothed with grey pubescence. Abdomen clothed with very small ovate 

 grey scales. 



Pygidium triangular, acuminate (cJ), thickly clothed with very 

 small elongate-ovate yellow scales. The head, thorax, and elytra are 

 thickly clothed with larger, flat, ovate scales, which are white, except 

 those on the apical deflexion of the elytra, where they are yellow. 



The female has the eyes less prominent ; the club of the antennas 

 is ovate ; the pygidium is nearly semi-circular.
