This species, iiltliougli closely allied to the preceding, is 

 distiiigiiishaljle from it by its smaller size, more robust 

 form, larger protliorax, coloration of the body, })aler abdom- 

 inal apex, less conspicuous pubescence and shorter first 

 joint of the posterior tarsi. It is described from the male, 

 the sixth segment being sinuate at apex; the sinus is rather 

 more acutely rounded than in rw^osum, and is about four 

 times as wide as deep. The structure of the labrnm is sim- 

 ilar to that of raijo.saiii. 



3 — C. anffulatum n- '^l*- — Form slcuclor, modei'atelycouvcx; color tlirongh- 

 oiit black, legs piceons-black, auteuuno aud palpi same, tarsi piceo-testuceous; 

 pubescence of the elj'tra. aud abdomen moderately dense, very fiuo, rociim- 

 beut, fulvous in color, sparser and coarser anteriorly' except at the sides of 

 the head behind the ej^es. Head moderate, slightly longer than wide; sides 

 parallel and feeblj' arcuate; base truncate, angles distinctly rounded; surface 

 moderately convex, depressed anteriorly, very finely aud dense!}' punctate; 

 antenme very slender, nearly as long as the head and prothorax together; basal 

 joint scarcely as long as the next two combined, second and third equal in length, 

 the former scarcely precoptibly more oval, tenth as wide as long. Prothorax 

 quadrate; sides just perceptibly convergent posteriorly aad nearly straight; 

 base broadly, rather strongly aud nearly evenly arcuate, much more strongly 

 so than the apex, which is broadly aud rather feebly arcuate and feebly sinu- 

 ate in the middle; apical an^jles slightly obtuse and scarcely perceptibly 

 rounded, basal very broadly rounded; disk scarcely wider than the head, 

 moderately convex, very finely, rather strongly aud irregularly rugulose; 

 median liue rather obsolete. Elytra at base very slightly wider than the 

 head; sides parallt-l and feebly arcuate; together broadly, triangularly aud 

 distinctly emargiuato behind; disk transversely and very moderately convex, 

 very feebly impressed along the suture toward bise, not impressed toward 

 the apex, scarcely one-third longer than wide, about one-third longer than 

 the prothorax, extremely minutely, densely and evenly punctate; punctures 

 asperate aud not sparser near the apex. Abdomen having the sixth aud tlio 

 apex of the fifth segments very slightly paler, piceo-testuceous; surface 

 transversely and finely strigato in wavy and very broken rows of minute 

 and closely-placed asperities. Leys moderate; first joint of the posterior tarsi 

 slightly shorter than the next two together. Length 3.5 mm.

Described from the male; the sixth segment is sinuate at 

 apex, the sinus being very broadly rounded and about six 

 times as wide as deep.
