C*. rihatlie, n. sp. 



Black, covered with a light brown tomentum; head very rugose, 

 antennae short, black ; prothorax with a sharp lateral tubercle, and 

 one equally long but perpendicular over it, and four more on the 

 disk, which in the ^ is broadly grooved in the centre, with the 

 sides of the groove developed in two high tuberculated ridges ; 

 elytra elongated, retuse behind, not quite so broad at the base as 

 the prothorax at its widest part, not ampliated behind in the $ , a 

 little broader past the median part in the $ , very rugose and with 

 three series of thick, sharp, conical tubercles on each side, longer in 

 the ^ and denuded and golden at the tip, lateral part with two 

 series of smaller tubercles ; legs rugose, tibiae slightly curved in 

 the cj, much less so in the $. Length 15-16, width 6-7 mm.

Difi'ers from C satanas, Pasc, in the shape and

Fairmaire has given, loc. cit., the diagnosis of the $ only ; the 

 $ is elongate-ovate, with the elytra much narrower than those of 

 the $ , the granules are larger and denser, the dorsal costse are ill- 

 defined, although the granules of which they consist are larger than 

 those iu the intervals ; the anterior and intermediate tibiae are 

 deeply emarginate internally from near the median part to the 

 apex, the anterior femora are sub-dentate apicall}*, and both the 

 intermediate and posterior legs are fringed with long, flavescent 

 pubescence. Length 20, width 10 mm.

 . Black, opaque, more or less densely covered with a light brown 

 tomentum ; head closely and finely punctured ; prothorax a little 

 attenuate laterally at both ends, broader than long, moderately 

 convex with the anterior part slightly declivous, disk closely but 

 irregularly punctured ; elytra elongate-ovate ( (J ) or sub-globose 

 ( $ ), declivous behind, and with large, closely-set granules, a little 

 sharper in the (J than in the $ ; anterior and intermediate tibiae
