elytra, where the striae have a tendency to coalesce in pairs 

 and form a single irregular row of punctures ; the interspaces on 

 the hinder disk obsoletely thickened. 



C suaveolus is likely to be confounded with the two foregoing 

 species ; it may be known from either by the entire absence of 

 the transverse depression below the basilar space on the elytron, 

 and by the much more coarse and close punctuation of its thorax. 

 C IVaterhousii differs from C, Lorquinii in having a broader 

 thorax, and in the puncturing of its elytra being continued of equal 

 strength to the apex ; in Lorquinii the pimctures are much finer 

 on the hinder disk, and occasionally obsolete.

Surface deeply but remotely punctured ; front impressed with 

 a longitudinal groove, which terminates anteriorly just before 

 reaching the anterior margin ; face entirely separated from the 

 encarpae and epistome by a deep groove, its anterior margin tri- 

 lobate, the middle lobe small, slightly produced beyond the two 

 lateral ones ; epistome broadly wedge-shaped, its upper margin 

 broadly truncate, concave, surface coarsely and closely punctured ; 

 encarpae narrow, elongate, surface smooth ; antennae half the 

 length of the body, five upper joints blueish-black, moderately 

 dilated, and forming a narrow elongate club, six lower joints me- 

 tallic-green, with a blueish tint. Thorax rather broader than 

 louCT, sides nearly straight and parallel behind the middle, rounded 

 and converging in front ; hinder angles armed with a short obtuse 

 tubercle; upper surface subcylindrical, convex, sides strongly 

 deflexed in front, surface subremotely impressed with large round 

 punctures. Elytra oblong, parallel, convex, moderately exca-
