428 Mr. C. 0. waferhouse’s Descriptions of new 
is rugulose and finely punctured, but shining. The 
antenne are relatively broader than in C. wdipus, with 
the fourth to tenth joints with their apical angle more 
prominent, sparingly punctured. The very transverse 
shining thorax has the surface almost plicate, with the 
raised parts finely and sparingly punctured ; there is an 
impression in the middle ; the sides are much depressed, 
slightly curved from the anterior angles to the acute 
lateral tooth made by the posterior emargination ; this 
tooth is directed backwards ; midway between this tooth 
and the anterior angle there is a very slight projection ; 
between the lateral tooth and the base there is an obtuse 
projection nearly similar to that in C. a@dipus. The 
scutellum is very broad, sparingly punctured. The very 
broad flattened elytra are arcuately narrowed at the 
apex, and separately rounded, the sutural angle oblite- 
rated ; the sculpture is finely rugulose, mixed with fine 
punctuation ; it is much finer at the apex than at the 
base, and the region of the shoulders is beset with 
minute tubercles. The prosternal process is rather 
flat, longitudinally impressed on each side; the meso- 
sternum is broader than in C. wdipus, and is not deeply 
channelled.

I have only seen two examples, both females, of this 
species, the property of the South African Museum. One 
of the specimens has now been presented to the British 
Museum. It seems not unlikely, from the form of the 
head and thorax, and the broad form and rough sculpture 
of the elytra, that this species may prove to be the type 
of a new genus when the male is known.
