528 Mr. G. J. Arrow on 
has only a few scattered striole, the apical part not (as 
in H. alternata) more closely sculptured than the rest. 
The sternal process is very narrow, not at all flattened or 
dilated. 
The description of Klug’s species is quite inadequate, but 
the size and locality render my identification of it fairly 
certain and the former evidently excludes the new species, 
which is the one to which Klug’s name is applied by 
Dr. Péringuey in his ‘ Catalogue of the Coleoptera of South 
Africa.’

Although similar in coloration to C. quadrisignata, G. & P., 
this is more nearly related to C. pectoralis, Bainb., but it is 
much larger and smoother than either. The pygidium and 
sides of the elytra are not opaque as in the allied species, 
the punctures of the pronotum are confined to its front and 
sides, and the depression upon the posterior half is much 
deeper and more sharply defined, and the angulation of the 
lateral margin is distinct but not sharp. The scutellum is 
very long and narrow, and the adjacent part of the elytra 
is only very slightly and narrowly depressed. The elytra are 
almost flat and smooth, with a very feeble puncturation. 
The pygidium is rather shining, rather feebly striolated, and 
the entire lower surface is very smooth and shining, with 
only a very few minute punctures at the sides. 
There is one specimen of each sex. The male has the 
abdomen very slightly hollowed beneath and each elytron is 
decorated with a rather ill-defined transverse yellow bar, 
placed at the level of the apex of the scutellum and not
