G' Head with a deep excavation, its upper edge with two 
pointed spines. 
Length 2 1/2-3 lines. 
G Head impunctate, broad, the frontal elevations widely 
separated and pointed in front but connected by the upper edge of 
the excavation, the latter with a long spine at each side, the 
hollow itself furnished with two skinny projections at the top and 
at the base, those at the latter broad-shaped, elypeus transverse, 
flat, impunctate, antennæ two-thirds the length of the body, fus- 
cous, the lower five joints fulvous, the second extremely short, 
the third joint very long, slightly longer than the fourth, terminal 
joints shorter ; thorax very slightly broader than long, extremely 
finely granulate and punctured, obsoletely bifoveolate ; elytra with 
an oblique depression below the base at each side, very finely and 
closely punctured, fulvous like the thorax, the sides with a broad 
band extending from the middle to the apex, of violaceous colour; 
underside flavous, the tibiæ at the apex and the tarsi fuscous; 
abdomen blackish.

C. semilimbata is evidently closely allied to C. cavifrons 
Duviv. (Stett. Ent. Zeitsch. 1885) but that species is described 
as having the thorax longer than broad and the apical portion of 
the elytra violaceons blue, the antennæ also have only the two 
basal joints testaceous. C’. longicornis Jac. has longer and entirely 
flavous antennæ and legs and a black underside; in one specimen 
wich I cannot separate from the typical form the elytral dark 
band extends upwards to the base. 
Cynorta tripunctata n. sp. 
Fulvous, thorax broader than long, obsoletely foveolate, the 
sides and three spots at the middle, piceous; elytra finely and 
closely punctured, flavous, the sides braodly violaceous-black. 
Length 2 lines. 
Head impunctate, frontal tubercles strongly raised, eyes 
large, clypeus depressed, flavous, antennæ obscure fulvous, the 
basal two joints black, the third and following joints closely 
pubescent, third joint slightly shorter than the fourth, thorax 
one half broader than long, the sides narrowed at the base 
slightly rounded and widened in front, the disc minutely granu- 
late and extremely finely punctured, obsoletely depressed at the 
sides, the latter and three small spots placed in a triangle on the 
dise, piceous; elÿtra with a slight longitudinal sulcation at the 
sides, the latter broadly violaceous black, the dise flavous;
