  third 
  of 
  the 
  elytra, 
  the 
  antenna?, 
  and 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  mandibles, 
  

   which 
  are 
  black, 
  and

  tarsi, 
  which 
  are 
  somewhat 
  dark 
  

   brown;

  a 
  faint 
  greyish 
  pubescence. 
  Head 
  and 
  pro- 
  

   thorax

  punctured, 
  the 
  elytra 
  more 
  minutely 
  and 
  

   densely 
  punctured. 
  Antennas 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  a 
  little 
  longer 
  than 
  

   the 
  body, 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  about 
  three 
  fourths 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  

   body, 
  with 
  a 
  variable 
  number 
  of 
  joints

  narrowly 
  fulvous 
  

   at 
  their 
  bases.

  Hah. 
  Jamaica. 
  

  

  Head 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  widely 
  separated 
  punctures, 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  

   patch 
  behind 
  each 
  eye 
  black 
  or 
  purplish 
  brown. 
  Prothorax 
  

   very 
  sparsely 
  punctured, 
  testaceous 
  (in 
  some 
  specimens 
  

   slightly 
  brown 
  at 
  the 
  sides) 
  , 
  with 
  the 
  sides 
  slightly 
  expanded 
  

   and 
  rounded 
  in 
  the 
  middle. 
  Elytra 
  minutely 
  and 
  rather 
  

   thickly 
  punctured, 
  the 
  punctures 
  disappearing 
  towards 
  the 
  

   apex, 
  with 
  the 
  suture 
  and 
  lateral 
  margins 
  yellowish 
  testa- 
  

   ceous, 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  purplish 
  brown, 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  

   apex. 
  The 
  abdomen 
  and 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  breast 
  somewhat 
  pur- 
  

   plish 
  brown, 
  the 
  legs 
  (tarsi 
  excepted) 
  and 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  

   breast 
  yellowish 
  testaceous. 
  Antennae 
  (in 
  the 
  female 
  a 
  little 
  

   longer, 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  about 
  a 
  third 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  body) 
  with 
  

   the 
  third 
  joint 
  nearly 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  scape, 
  with 
  the 
  

   latter 
  about 
  equal 
  in 
  length 
  to 
  the 
  fourth 
  joint. 
  

  

  The 
  extent 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  purplish-brown 
  colour 
  pervades 
  

   the 
  elytra 
  is 
  variable 
  ; 
  in 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  specimens 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  

   brownish 
  only 
  towards 
  the 
  apex. 
  The 
  underside 
  of 
  the 
  body 
  

   varies 
  also 
  in 
  this 
  respect. 
  Excepting 
  C. 
  speciosus, 
  Chevr., 
  I 
  

   know 
  of 
  no 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  third 
  joint 
  of 
  

   the 
  antennas 
  is 
  relatively 
  so 
  long.
