from the inner angle of the eye to the epistome, cheeks, front, and 

 vertex white; prothorax nearly quadrate, scarcely wider than the 

 head, white, with two black stripes on each side ; scutellum transverse, 

 rounded behind ; elytra rather short, a large trilobed patch common to 

 both at the base, an irregular band at the middle, and two others at the 

 apex, which are more or less connected, white ; legs black, the tibise 

 obscurely ringed with white in the middle, tarsi wdth the two basal joints 

 white ; antennfe hairy beneath to the fourth joint, the fifth very slightly 

 so, black, the second and third joints at the base and nearly the whole 

 of the fourth white ; sterna white ; abdomen black beneath. Length 

 6 lines. 



This, so far as the proportions between the two colours are con- 

 cerned, is a very variable species ; it is allied to C. anthriboides (see 

 ante, p. 130).

Light brown, covered vsdth a short, close, pale-greyish pile, varied 

 with black ; head nearly quadrate in front, pale grey with three 

 glabrous vei-tical lines, the central one becoming impressed between 

 the eyes, two black spots above the epistome ; eyes black, reniform ; 

 antennfe longer than the body, black, all the joints except the two 

 basal pale ashy at the base ; mandibles black ; palpi reddish at the 

 tips ; prothorax scarcely transverse, a little narrowed anteriorly, the 

 sides smoky-black, continuous with a black patch behind the eye ; 

 scutellum transversely triangular, black, the centre and apex pale 

 grey ; elytra moderately wide, subbicostate, indistinctly pimctured, pale 

 greyish, towards the base a few black spots, behind the middle a sub- 

 reticulate black band, and near the apex an irregular transverse line, 

 also black, more or less connected with small spots behind it, faint 

 spots or mark of a pale leaden grey are also more or less mixed with 

 the black ; legs rather robust, femora greyish, vsdth a black band near 

 the apex, tibise black, the proximal end and middle grey, tarsi black, 

 with the two basal joints more or less white; body beneath grey, the 

 sides vdth a few black spots, middle of the abdominal segments glabrous, 

 shining black. Length 7 lines. 



Broader and generally more robust than E. anthriboides, the colours 

 clearer and more defined, the elytra varied with black, and all the 

 joints of the antennse, except the two basal, ringed with ashy at the 

 base.
