convexity and sliining appearance ; the mandibles have 

 only two distinct teeth; the forehead is not furnished 

 with a horizontal lamina, and the head behind the eyes 

 is simply inflated and not triangularly prodaced. The 

 exact locality of the specimen from which I have drawn 

 up my description is not known ; it is either Japan or the 

 Indian Archipelago. The specimen is lent me by Major 

 Parry, who brought it me for description with the MS. 

 name C, MotseJmlskU.

This species very much resembles in general form and 

 colour the C. incllnaius of Motschulsky (Etudes Ent. 

 pt. 10, 1861, p. 13). The mandibles, however, are less 

 deflexed, and are furnished with two larger teeth, one 

 rather below the middle, and another near the apex ; 

 between these there are indications of two or three small 

 teeth, and between the second and the apex there are 

 two small teeth. The foi-ehead is more deeply excavated, 

 and is not provided with a horizontal lamina between the 

 mandibles as in C. inclinatiis ; the clypeus has the sides 

 straight, the front margin formed of two lines which 

 would meet at an obtuse angle, if the vertex were not 

 slightly emarginate. The sides of the head behind the 

 eyes are nearly straight, the posterior angles completely 

 rounded. The head is less depressed, the surface is more 

 finely granular, the disc being slightly impressed and
