The general appearance of this species is dull and obscure black; the clava of the antenne is pitchy ; the 
head and pronotum are covered with very minute grey pubescent sete, and the elytra with the same, but more 
widely scattered; the under side of the body is also similarly clothed, the metasternum being more woolly in 
its appearance; the hairs of the hind tibie are also luteous grey. The prosternum is armed with a strong 
deflexed spine in front of the anterior tibie; the anterior tibie are strongly bidentate at the tip in the 
female, and the pygidium is marked with a large round impression. 
These notes were made from an examination of the original type of Cr. mawrus of Gory, from the Cape of 
Good Hope, communicated by Dr. Schaum, who observes of it that it ‘est un peu plus grand que le Séné- 
galensis, le corselet moins convexe, couvert d’une ponctuation beaucoup plus serrée, les cdtés des élytres sont 
plus saillantes et également couvertes d’une ponctuation réticulée.’ 
Specimens from Western Africa and Sierra Leone are in the Collections of W. W. Saunders, Esq. and Count 
Mniszech, which I cannot specifically distinguish from Gory’s South African type. One of these, which I 
apprehend are males, is represented in pl. XI, fig. 10. These specimens are nine lines long (three-fourths of an 
inch). The length of the elytra is nearly equal to twice the width of the broadest part of the prothorax; at 
their base the elytra are marked with more decided oval punctures, often pointed at the tips behind, each 
puncture having a very minute central dot. The suture is rather elevated, and more clearly punctured ; there 
is an impressed line running on each side parallel with the suture, and on the dise are two longitudinal, not 
deeply marked sulci, the sides of the elytra parallel with the lateral margin being rather elevated. A portion of 
the disc of the left elytron, highly magnified, is represented in fig. 10a, to shew the intricate minute impressions, 
not visible except under a lens, which give a shagreened appearance to the elytra. The metasternum and its 
sides are clothed with short luteous sete. The body beneath is black, glossy, and slightly punctate, and the 
abdomen is very convex on its ventral surface; the penultimate segment of the abdomen above is transversely 
marked with very minute striolz, and is somewhat carinated longitudinally down the centre. The pygidium 
is quite convex, covered with extremely minute and closely arranged irregular (but for the most part transverse) 
striole ; amongst which are some distant minute circular punctures, emitting fine short luteous setw. The fore 
legs are strong, the femora having the anterior margin obtusely serrated and setose. The anterior tibiw are 
obtusely bidentate at the tips, having also a conical tubercle on their under surface, a little below the insertion 
of the 5-jointed anterior tarsi (fig. 104). The posterior tarsi are inserted at a little distance before the 
extremity of the tibie, which is excised for this purpose on its outer edge; the spurs, which are broad and 
short, arise below the insertion of the tarsi.
