 sloping and slightly excavated as far as the base of the an- 

 tennae ; a blackish band runs below the ejes obliquely upwards 

 to the back of the head, and there is a shorter one above it 

 running backwards from the eye, interrupted before reaching 

 a transverse black mark at the back of the occiput. An- 

 tennae marked with long black spots. Legs with indistinct 

 brown bands and the tips -of the femora and tibire and 

 the terminal joints o£ the tarsi distinctly black. Thorax 

 granulated. Prothorax with black markings on the sides 

 and on the median line ; this is interrupted on the front of the 

 hinder lobe, where there is a curved black line on each side, 

 before the black median line is continued. Mesothorax with 

 the hinder two thirds suddenly raised, the raised part with a 

 black spot and a curved black line on each side in front.

Seems to be most nearly allied to C. niacuUcoUi's, West- 

 wood, but with the mesothorax simply raised behind instead 

 of humped. In markings it greatly resembles Aschipasma 

 rt«ni</i):>e5, Westwood, though much less heavily spotted; but 

 its generic characters separate it at once from that species.
