pressed and narrow anteriorly, not high, carrying about 

 three series of cells, anterior part of carinate ridge with 

 erect spines, sides with shorter spines, the posterior glob- 

 ular portion not much wider than the division next in 

 front of it; lateral lamella? almost triangularly narrowed 

 anteriorly, reaching forward almost as far as the tip of 

 the hood, areoles small, arranged in four series, margin- 

 ed along the full length with straight, long, nearly equi- 

 distant spines, the posterior margin not far from the front 

 border of the hemielytra. Base of mesonotum like a 

 transverse, interrupted collar, with the middle between 

 the swellings longitudinally carinate, the space each side 

 of this, the hollows at base of hood, the center of bulla 

 on the disk of hemielytra, and the veins of the marginal 

 cells black. Scutellum almost flat, with the middle car- 

 ina thicker than the marginal ones. Hemielytra a little 

 wider behind, somewhat bent outwards, with six rows of 

 chiefly quadrangular cells; the base a little wider than 

 the lamellae, deeply notched in the middle, armed with 

 spines which gradually decrease in size until arrested at 

 about one-third from the tip. Legs, rostrum, buccula?, 

 and sternal carinate pieces testaceous. Venter a little 

 rufo-fulvous on the middle. 



Length to tip of hemielytra, 3^ mm. Width of pro- 

 notal lamella?, 1% mm. 



Specimens in this collection are labeled "S. Cal." 



I have examined one specimen from Cape St. Lucas. 



This species comes near C. deccns Stal in appearance, 

 but it has more of the form of C . fuscigera Stal, and dif- 

 fers from both in the characters given above.
