Obs.—Species a sequenti (i. é., nisi fallor, C. fulva, 
Mann.) parum distincta ; differt corpore paulo convexiore 
et magis ovali (sc. sensim minus oblongo), necnon, pre- 
sertim in capite prothoraceque, grossius punctato, et pilis 
etiam sublongioribus obsito ; pr othorax magis transversus 
fovea media magis rotundata et paulo minus profunda 
impressus, elytra quoque sensim magis ventricosa. 
Amongst the Madeiran specimens which [have hitherto, 
from time to time, assigned to the Huropean C. fulva a 
certain number are more strongly punctured than the 
rest, and seem to differ also in a few other distinctive 
characters; and I have little doubt that they represent 
the particular form (perhaps a truly specific one) which 
Motschoulsky described, three years ago, under the title 
of ciliata. It is equally common, with what I believe to 
be the true fulva, in the houses of Fulchal,—the two 
species, which much resemble each other at first sight, 
being usually met with together; and both have doubt- 
less been naturalized from some more northern country. 
The C. ciliata (if rightly understood, and identified, by 
me) may be known from the fulva in being a trifle more 
oval and convex (the prothorax being a little wider and 
more developed, and the elytra somewhat rounder and 
more ventricose), and clothed with perhaps even a still 
longer fulvescent pile, in its head and prothorax being 
much more coarsely punctured, aud in the fovea with 
which the latter is impressed behind being appreciably 
shallower, as well as a trifle smaller and more rounded. 
Its colour, too, although often quite as pale as that of 
what I believe to be the fulva, is more frequently of a 
shehtly darker tnt—being generally brownish testaceous. 
The C. attenuata and unicarinulata, of Motschoulsky, 
judging from their diagnoses, might well have been 
erected on accidentally small examples of this species ; 
indeed I possess a specimen, undoubtedly conspecific 
with the rest, which answers almost exactly to his descrip- 
tion of the former, and nearly as well with that of the 
latter; and until further evidence therefore shall prove 
the contrary, 1 must regard them both as referable to 
the ciliata.
