anteriorly and posteriorly ; the middle of the disc is densely aciculated. The prothorax has an oblique impres- 
sion on each side, within the posterior angles, very finely and obliquely striolated. The prosternum forms a 
strong deflexed spine in front of the anterior cox. The abdomen of the male is scarcely punctured beneath, 
and has a very distinct oval impression in the middle extending to the extremity of the fourth segment. The 
body beneath is black, shining, clothed sparingly with grey hairs, except the metasternum, which has on each 
side a dense patch of such hairs. The coxe of the hind legs are obliquely striolated.

My figure of this species is taken from Gory’s type specimen kindly communicated by Dr. Schaum". 
The elytra are marked with two regular striz on each side of the suture, the remainder being suleated, 
but not regularly striated. The punctures of the elytra are not distinct; the pygidium is semi-oval, with fine 
transverse aciculated lines. The metasternum is rather thickly clothed with luteous sete, as well as the hind 
side of the femora. The abdomen is convex and not longitudinally sulcated at the base beneath, a slight im- 
pressed line in the middle of the second segment only being visible ; it is polished and slightly luteo-setose. 
Dr. Schaum observes of this species that it has ‘le corselet plus convexe que le ventricosus, moins rétréci 
en ayant, le sillon longitudinal est beaucoup plus profond, la base est coupée plus carrément, les angles posté- 
rieurs sont plus sentis, les élytres offrent une large impression a l’épaule, les stries sont plus fortement 
enfoneées. Les jambes antérieures ont trois dents en dehors, la premiére est trés peu saillante et placée trés 
prés des genoux.—Annales, p. 396.

Puate XIII, Fie. 5. 
Niger punctatissimus, glaber, clypeo antice dilatato apice late emarginato, subeordato, mento obconico apice 
incrassato infundibiliformi; thorace subhexagono, lateribus angulato-rotundatis, basi obsolete biimpresso, dorso 
medio longitudinaliter impresso ; elytris fere planis striolis duabus in singulo prope suturam, costisque duabus 
disci obsoletis, undique sparsim punctulatis ; abdominis spiraculis duabus ultimis tuberculato-spinosis, abdomine 
in medio subtus late at minime profunde impresso; tibiis anticis acute bidentatis, posticis simplicibus.

The accompanying figure has been made from the original type of the species described by Mr, W. W. 
Saunders, with which I have carefully examined Dr. Schaum’s typical specimen of C. platyrhinus. Both are 
1 Tn this specimen the lateral margins of the prothorax have been slightly injured in the middle, giving it the 
appearance of a slight incision on each side (as represented in my figure).
