aud rouuded at the apex, with a uarrow and rather deep central 

 notch. Thorax coarsely aud somewhat closely punctured at 

 the sides and base, the disc more finely and sparsely punctured, 

 the sides rather prominent in the middle, the base strongly 

 emargiuate before the scutellum, and the posterior angles ob- 

 tuse. Scutellum impunctate, or with a few scattered punctures. 

 Elytra one-fourth longer than wide at the shoulders, rounded 

 at the apex, each with six deep striie, the interstices con\ex and 

 remotely j^unctured, the striae Avith coarse confluent punctures 

 bearing erect seta?, the sides and apex sparsely punctured. Pygid- 

 ium very convex, with scattered punctures. Underside and 

 legs coarsely punctured, and with .sparse long brownish hairs; 

 mesosternal process strongly dilated and rounded in front ; ab- 

 domen deeply and broadly concave in the centre, pubescent and 

 closely and finely punctured, the apex nearly smooth ; anterior 

 til)ia3 with an almost obsolete tooth before the apex. The fe- 

 male is rather broader, less punctured, with the abdomen convex 

 and scarcely punctured in the centre, and the anterior tibiae with 

 two lateral teeth. Length 16-18 mm.

This species is closely allied to C. inarginata^ \\'^aterh.; the 

 male, however, may be readily distinguished by its more elon- 

 gate form, convex pygidium, in having the interstices aud apex 

 of the elytra punctured, and by the large and densely punctured 

 depression of the abdomen; the female is more difficult to dis- 

 tinguish, but is larger, of a more elongate form, and has the 

 apex of the elytra very sparingly punctured, whereas in viai- 

 (jinata they are strigose or coarsely punctured.

Dull olive-brown above, with obscure greenish markings on 

 the elytra, beneath green and slightly shining at the sides, the 

 centre of the liody olive-brown ; legs red-brown, shining, aud 

 tinged with green. Head slightly convex and smooth, the con- 

 vexity terminating abruptly and forming a curved ridge near 

 the apex; clypeus very broad, subquadrate, sides and apex 

 punctured, the apical margin with two very slightly elevated 

 points in the centre. Thorax emarginate at the sides Ijehind 

 the middle, the lateral margins raised, slightly punctured at the 

 sides in front. SciUellum impunctate, the a})ex rather acute. 

 Elytra moderately convex and rounded at tlic sides, with in- 

 distinct rows of punctures, the sutural angles produced aud
