but more obtuse and stronger in the female. Fig. 6@ represents the maxilla (alike in both sexes), and fig. 64 
the lower lip terminated in two flat rounded lobes, and strongly depressed in the middle. Fig. 7 represents 
Mr. Turner’s female, which is rather broader and larger than the male, the prothorax is more orbicular, the 
widest part being across the middle, with a central furrow and four dorsal impressions: the elytra are less 
depressed, the basal joint of the antenne dilated, the ventral segments of the abdomen are convex. The elytra 
have a rather deep plain stria near the suture, a second, less strongly marked, extends to the inside of the 
subapical swelling, which is glossy, the apex of the elytra being dull: a third stria on the disc is formed only 
by a very indistinct broad depression, outside of which is an abbreviated one, there is also a rather deep impres- 
sion within each humeral angle. The lateral portion of each elytron is finely and transversely aciculated ; in 
the middle part the punctures are very shallow, oval, and ill defined behind. The pygidium is very finely rugose, 
the under side of the thorax is very finely and closely punctured, the sides of the abdominal segments with fine 
oblique aciculated striole, and the lower tooth of the fore tibie broader than in the male.

In several of the characters of this species, as indicated in Dr. Schaum’s note given under C. maurus, it 
will be seen that it approximates to Mr. Turner’s female of the latter. The frontal tubercle of the prothorax 
is however wanting, and the head is not transversely carinated between the eyes; it also wants the dorsal 
impression of fig. 7.

The original type of this species, described by Gyllenhal, is preserved in the Royal Museum of Stockholm 
(Coll. Alfzelius). It exactly agrees in size with the insect in the Hopeian Collection, from which Gory and 
Percheron derived their description and figure of Cremast. Brou, and which is also here represented in fig. 11. 
The elytra have a few very minute luteous scales scattered over their surface; the pygidium is regularly 
convex, the upper part sculptured with very fine and minute circular and semi-circular lines, the lower part is 
glabrous. The abdomen is not channelled in the middle at its base in the type specimen of Cremast. Brow, 
but is rather flat, with the terminal segment a little incurvéd downwards. The ventral segments are marked 
with fine semicircular lines, and the mesothorax is thickly punctured and thickly clothed with luteous set.
