longed backward, as a shallow impression, to a line between 

 the fovccg. These latter are circular, separated by a space 

 three limes as great as that intervening between each one and 

 the eye, and are situated on a line passing from center to 

 center of the eyes. Below and posterior to either eye is a strong 

 spine. Palpi with the first joint gradually curved, increasing 

 in thickness toward the third, which it exceeds three times 

 in length. Third joint triangular, with the free angle produced 

 into a spine; fourth triangular, free angles obtuse. Antcnnce 

 with the first joint cylindrical, not so long as the width of the 

 adjoining frontal tubercle; second to sixth oblong-subglobular, 

 gradually shorter, the seventh small, globular, eighth as long 

 as the third, drawn out on the inner side into a long, concavo- 

 convex tooth reaching the base of the tenth joint. Ninth and 

 tenth transverse, the latter three times as wide as the seventh, 

 last joint wider than the tenth, ovoid, slightly truncate at base, 

 and longer than the two preceding. Prothorax convex, widest 

 at the middle, where the sides are strongly arcuate, but they 

 become straight in front of and behind the point. Neck half 

 as wide as the greatest width, and not quite two-thirds that of 

 the base. Disk punctulate, without anterior circular impress- 

 ions, and with small basal foveas connected by a fine linear 

 sulcus. Elytra depressed anteriorly, breadth at the shoulders 

 a little less than the length of the suture, tip one-fourth wider. 

 Disk punctulate, shoulders prominent, subangulate, sutural 

 lines entire, parallel, suture depressed, discal lines sulciform, 

 bottoms fiat, reaching half-way to the tip. Abdomen convex,, 

 wider across the posterior margin of the first segment, which 

 has no carin^e, the posterior segments rapidly decreasing in 

 width. Legs with anterior femora tri-spinous, joints two and 

 three of the tarsi equal in length. 

 Habitat. Same as for C. ziegleri.
