Hah. — Hiogo, Japan; also Cliusan, brought over by 
Mr. A. Adams. 
Head distantly punctured, impressed on tlie front with 
a longitudinal groove, the lower half of the face, and a 
bifurcate patch, the branches of which extend upwards on 
either side to the inner and upper angle of the eye, ful- 
A'ous ; antennas equal to the body in length in the $ , 
shorter in the $ , four lower joints fulvous, the rest black. 
Thorax rather more than t^vice as broad at the base as 
long, sides rounded and converging from base to ajiex ; 
above convex, slightly and transversely depressed in front 
of the scutellum, disk shining, impressed with very fine, 
remote punctures, which are visible only under a lens. 
Elytra coarsely punctured, the punctures near the suture 
arranged in ill-defined stria3. 
This species may be separated from C. Kidihini, the 
only insect with which it can be confounded, by the 
bright, shining, nearly irapunctate thorax, and by the 
yellow line running along the basal half of the latei'al 
border of the elytra.
