 Antennae ? 27-jointed, dilated and compressed beyond the middle, 

 not much attenuated at the tips, shorter than the body. Meso- 

 thorax in front variolose, rather shining, reticulated before the 

 scutellum, which is thickly variolose, margined with coarser punc-

 base, truncate behind, the angles hardly denticulated. Abdomen 

 longer than the thorax, a little wider behind, rounded, not obtuse,

At first sight like C. dispar, sp. 8, ? , but the abdomen 

 is considerably longer in proportion, the antennae are 

 much more than 16-jointed, and the sculpture is finer. 

 The yellowish abdominal spots are triangular, and widely 

 separated in the middle. 



One specimen is in Fitch's collection, the origin of 

 which is not stated.
