strongly transversely rugose, legs flavous, the knees oeneous; 

 tarsi fuscous. 



Length 5 raill. 



Head distinctly but not closely punctured, the clypeus separated 

 from the face by a transverse groove, punctured like the head, its 

 anterior margin straight, labrum dark fulvous, antennse fulvous, 

 the third and fourth joint elongate, equal, the last five joints 

 slightly thickened; thorax transversely convex, the sides evenly 

 rounded, the dise punctured like the head, the punctures very 

 evenly distributed and of equal size, not very closely placed, the 

 space near the anterior margin slightly transversely depressed, 

 scutellum broadly rounded, with a few punctures; eiytra with a 

 distinct transverse dépression below the base, scarcely more 

 strongly punctured than the thorax near the suture, the punctures 

 regularly arranged in rows, the sides strongly and irrcgularly 

 punctate, the interstices at the latter place strongly transversely 

 rugose, the rugse not extending further inw^ards than the middle of 

 the dise and diminishing gradually posteriorly; below greenlsh or 

 aeneous, legs flavous, the knees cupreous or seneous, tarsi darker, 

 prosternum pubescent; the pénis is slender, strongly curved and 

 acutely pointed anteriorly, the surface deeply longitudinally sulcate, 

 the sulcation abruptly transversely terminated posteriorly, the 

 under surface is simple and slightly convex. 



This species will be comparatively easily recognized amongst its 

 Indian congeners on account of the flavous legs, the even and 

 rather fine punctuation and the extend of the elytral rugosities 

 which do not reach further inwards than the middle in the maie 

 which sex the four spécimens before me seem ail to represent. 

 C. versicolor Lefèv. seems somewhat closely allied but is described 

 with dark terminal joints of the antennse, aciculate punctures of the 

 thorax, strongly punctured eiytra and black tarsi. C. geniculatum 

 Jac. differs in having a strongly punctured thorax and similarly 

 sculptured eiytra and in the entirely differently structured maie 

 organ. 



NODOSTOMA NILGHIRIENSE sp. n. 



Flavous, the apical joints of the antennse black, thorax strongly 

 transverse and short, the sides subangulate near the base, the 

 surface strongly and remotely punctured ; eiytra with deep basai 

 dépression, strongly punctate-striate anteriorly, fînely so poste- 

 riorly, the sides with an oblique costa, the surface black, the 

 extrême apex, flavous.
