  Middle

  in 
  shady 
  paths 
  on

  The 
  middle

  consists 
  of 
  a 
  large 
  lateral 
  

   triangular 
  spot 
  connected 
  with 
  a 
  small 
  discoidal 
  one, 
  by 
  a 
  slightly 
  oblique 
  narrow 
  line. 
  

  

  GROUP 
  VI. 
  

  

  This 
  group 
  contains 
  closely 
  allied, 
  and 
  in 
  fact 
  undistinguishable 
  species, 
  having 
  the 
  la- 
  

   brum 
  moderate, 
  slightly 
  advanced 
  and 
  3-dentate 
  in 
  the 
  middle: 
  palpi 
  black 
  in 
  both 
  sexes: 
  

   eyes 
  moderate, 
  not 
  prominent: 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  granulate 
  and 
  rugose, 
  the 
  front 
  striate 
  

   and 
  pilose 
  with 
  erect 
  hair; 
  the 
  latter 
  not 
  very 
  convex, 
  obliquely 
  narrowed 
  behind, 
  

   with 
  the 
  impressions 
  very 
  deep. 
  Elytra 
  moderately 
  punctured, 
  punctures 
  almost 
  always 
  

   elevated, 
  broadly 
  rounded 
  and 
  not 
  serrate 
  at 
  the 
  tips; 
  spots 
  always 
  disconnected, 
  ante- 
  

   rior 
  ones 
  frecpiently 
  wanting; 
  under 
  surface 
  with 
  long 
  white 
  hair, 
  which 
  is 
  sparse 
  on 
  the 
  

   abdomen, 
  but 
  more 
  dense 
  on 
  the 
  breast. 
  Legs 
  not 
  elongated, 
  hairy; 
  tarsi 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  

   with 
  moderately 
  dilated 
  joints. 
  

  

  The 
  foreign 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  group 
  (C. 
  campestris 
  &c.) 
  have 
  the 
  elytra 
  equably 
  punc- 
  

   tured, 
  while 
  in 
  ours 
  the 
  punctures 
  near 
  the 
  lateral 
  margin 
  are 
  less 
  distinct.
