The female is unknown ; Mr. Wallace's unique example 

 was taken flying in the jungle at sunset. Another species, 

 from Ceylon, is in the collection of Mr. W. Wilson 

 Saunders. 



In this remarkable genus I have placed a much smaller 

 species [C. caprcola) , from Penang, which M. Lacordaire 

 seems to think is generically difi'erent. On a re-examina- 

 tion, however, I find that, except that the head is a little 

 shorter, the shoulders not toothed, the apices of the elytra 

 not spined, and the antennae a little longer, there are no 

 other than purely specific differences, and those enu- 

 merated are scarcely of sufficient importance to justify 

 another generic name, as the two species, although dif- 

 ferent in colour, are evidently almost identical in habit.
