  A 
  remarkable 
  insect, 
  nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  an 
  undescribed 
  species 
  

   from 
  Silhet, 
  which 
  is 
  in 
  my 
  collection, 
  and 
  which 
  differs 
  from 
  it 
  

   chiefly 
  in 
  the 
  colouring 
  of 
  the 
  underside 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen.

  This 
  species 
  comes 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  C. 
  histrix, 
  but 
  differs 
  in 
  wanting 
  

   tufts 
  of 
  hair 
  on 
  the 
  antennce, 
  which 
  are 
  much 
  darker 
  in 
  colour, 
  

   and 
  in 
  being 
  hispid, 
  not 
  spiny.
