 Late oblonga, convexa, nitido-rufo-fulva ; antennis filiformibus, 

 fulvis ; scutello fulvo-piloso ; elytris ampliatis, valde con- 

 vexis, nitido-nigris, apice obscure rufis, infra basin trans- 

 versim depressis, tenuiter punctato-striatis, striis disci postici 

 deletis ; tibiis tarsisque obscure rufis, unguiculis piceis. 

 Long. 5 lin. 

 Hab. Amboina. 



Head deeply constricted behind the eyes; face elongate-tri- 

 gonate ; front impressed with a longitudinal groove ; antennae 

 filiform, somewhat slender, two-thirds the length of the body, pale 

 fulvous, apex of terminal joint fuscous ; eyes angularly notched. 

 Thorax subcylindrical, constricted on the sides, surface smooth, 

 impressed with a very few minute punctures, arranged on the 

 disc in a longitudinal row. Hinder tibiae paler than the others. 



The very robust form and dilated elytra will at once distinguish 

 this species from C. terminata ; the antennae are much longer 

 and entirely filiform, and the fourth joint distinctly longer than 

 the third ; in C. terminata these two joints are equal.
