Very close to the preceding structurally but with the sides of 

 the prothorax evidently more sinuate near the base, the hind 

 angles distinctly sharper, the color throughout (very notably that 

 of the antennal club) quite different, the puncturation of all the 

 upper surface much feebler and finer, &c. It should be noted 

 that there is a difference in the form of the clypeus between these 

 two species for although it is truncate in both when viewed from 

 above, its front outline viewed from in front is straight in this 

 species but sinuate in C. 2^'^'^^ciulafus. The labrum seems to 

 differ somewhat in form from that of C. punctulatus the middle 

 of its hind margin not appearing pointed, but that difference is 

 possioly only apparent as in the unique type of the present 

 species the labrum is closely in contact with the mentum and in 

 the other is fully exposed. The antennae are in a very unfavor- 

 able position for examination of the minute joints that form the 

 funiculus and I cannot get sight of them with a microscope but 

 I am almost sure they are 9-jointed. 



Australia or Tasmania ; exact habitat not known, but pro- 

 bably Tasmania, as a considerably broken specimen in my collec- 

 tion from that island does not seem to me to differ from the type 

 except in larger size (long. 3| 1.) and decidedly more rufescent 

 elytra.
