The antcnnae of this speeies are of an intermediate length 

 between those of the C. leetularius and those of the C eolunibarius, 

 and the third Joint is obviously longer than the fourth. The eyes

 front, and the sides are partially reflexed. The abdomen is narrower 

 than in either of the above-named spfu-ies, and mueh more attenuated 

 posteriorly, the greatest breadth beiug rather before the niiddle. 

 The thighs are more incrassated. The whole inseet is very pubes- 

 cent, approaching to hispid; and rather coarsely punctured. The 

 colour is dark ferruginous- oehrc , glistening witli a faiiit metallic 

 or subaenous hue, not perceptible in any of the other speeies. The
