 tnistura, not only by its narrow tarsi (not dilated), but by its more 

 arched thorax and by its much feebler sculptnre ; the thorax and 

 the posterior angles of the head are somewhat shining and rather 

 feebly reticulate (opaque or subopaque in typical C. mistura). The 

 node of the pedicel is thicker and has an obtuse margin (acute in 

 C. mistura). C. mistura is covered with a distinct though sparse, 

 rather long recumbent pubescence; C. fornaronis has only an 

 extremely short fine indistinct yellow pubescence. The pilosit}' is 

 as in C. mistura, but a little scantier, longer, and of a clearer 

 yellow colour. The scape is somewhat wider and more depressed 

 even than in C. mistura. Mandibles strongly curved near their apex, 

 armed with 6 teeth. Head without the mandibles 3-75 mm. long, 

 3*9 mm. wide. Length of scape 3 mm., of the posterior tibiae 

 3*2 mm.
