132 Mr. Walter F. H. Blandford on the 
punctato, ante suleum congerie punctorum confluentium notato ; 
elytris subtiliter striato-punctitis, striis ad basim impressis, inter- 
stitiis laevibus, rarius subtiliter punctulatis, ad apicem subde- 
clivibus, angulis externis subtus productis, interstitiis variolose 
punctatis, pilosis, depressione postice angusta, lunata ; abdominis 
segmentis inermibus, 50 subconcavo, Long. 5:3 mm. 
One example, Higo; three without locality. 
Piceous ; head with front subconcave, shortly pubescent, dull 
with scattered punctuation, more strongly over mouth, the 
punctures elongate towards vertex, and with a median impressed 
line, vertex with a median shining line and two indistinct lateral 
lines, antennz with scape simple, linear. Prothorax longer than 
broad, its lateral emargination very feeble, slightly impressed on 
either side at middle of surface, sulcus very fine, not reaching 
base, and terminated in front by an irregular patch of coalesced 
shallow punctures, punctuation of rest of surface scattered, 
irregular, stronger in front and on either side of a median smooth 
line running from central patch to apex. Elytra shining, finely 
striato-punctate, the strise wider and deeper at base, 3rd and 4th 
not conjoined, sutural stria impressed throughout, interstices 
scarcely convex, with a few fine scattered punctures, rather closer 
at base, without reticulate or punctured ground; apical extremity 
rounded and declivous, with interstices coarsely and rugosely 
punctured and pilose, not carinate, the punctuation of the Ist 
not extending farther forwards than that of succeeding interstices, 
external angles produced downwards in the plane of the terminal 
depression, which is narrow, lunate and subconcave, forming a 
marked angle with the surface of the elytra. Underside deep 
ferruginous, with metasternum and abdomen piceous, middle of 
former and latter strongly punctured; abdominal segments unarmed, 
2nd and 4th narrowly produced at sides, 5th concave. Legs 
piceous. Posterior coxee with a spine at internal angle ; posterior 
femora not crenate below. 
This species must, I think, be placed with the 
Orossotarsi subdepresst, though the interstices are not 
carinate at the apex of the elytra, and the marginal 
impression is more sharply separated from the surface 
than is usual in that group. It can be distinguished 
from C. niponicus by the absence of a spine on the first 
abdominal segment, and by the drd and 4th elytral 
strie not meeting at base, so as to shorten the 4th 
interstice.
