46 Mr. C. N. Barker on new 
Head: male steely, female greenish blue, coarsely punc- 
tate; labrum, palpi, first three joints and base of fourth of 
antenn, and the legs (paler) flavescent ; remaining joints 
of antenne black; terminals of palpi, knees, apices of 
tibiae, and, more or less, the posterior and intermediate tarsi 
ringed with fuscous. 
Prothorax deep brick-red, cordiform, nearly twice as wide 
at apex as at base, frontal angles declivous, moderately 
sharp, sides broadly rounded, bordered and slightly re- 
flexed, strongly contracted to basal angles, which are acute 
and a little recurved; disc moderately convex, densely ru- 
gosely punctate and very briefly pubescent, median line fine 
but distinct. 
Elytra opaque black, briefly pubescent, oblong-ovate, base 
and shoulders declivous, the latter broadly rounded, finely 
punctate-striate, a little more deeply about the apical 
declivity, intervals plane, finely shagreen-punctate, narrowly 
or not flavescent margined, and with, on either side, two 
transverse bands or fasciz, a small postmedian juxta- 
sutural and a sutural apical, spot. 
The anterior band is very sinuate—that is to say, it 
projects above and below on the alternate intervals and 
extends, gradually widening from the third stria to the 
outer margin. 
The postmedian transverse band is hardly sinuate; it 
covers the intervals 4 to 7, and is obscurely defined 
beyond to the edge of the outer margin. ‘he postmedian 
juxta-sutural spot is situated a little above the postmedian 
band on the second and third intervals, and the apical 
sutural spot is triangular in shape. My male example has 
the elytra narrowly margined with flavous, but this is wanting 
in the female example, except for a short distance above 
and below the anterior transverse band. 
The pectus, abdomen, and the centre line of the pro- 
sternum piceous. 
From C. cafer, Boh., diversus is differentiated by the 
coloration of head, prosternum, pectus, and abdomen ; by 
the situation of the postmedian juxta-sutural spot which is 
well above the postmedian band, whereas in cajer it is in 
line with and usually connected with it by a somewhat 
obscurely defined spot on the fourth interval. 
It is considerably smaller, the puncturation of head 
coarser, the prothorax laterally much more constricted 
towards base, the elytra more shortly ovate. 
It is much more nearly related to C. sea-pustulaius, Boh., 
and is only differentiated from that species on the following
