  rounded, 
  narrowly 
  bordered,

  about 
  a 
  

   fifth

  with 
  two 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  regular 
  rows

  setiferous 
  

   umbilicate 
  punctures,

  larger 
  and

  Uttle

   hind

  Closely 
  allied 
  to 
  C. 
  panagaeoides 
  Laf., 
  but 
  considerably 
  

   larger 
  and 
  distinguished 
  at 
  once 
  by 
  the

  Gray's 
  species 
  was 
  said 
  to 
  

   come 
  from 
  India; 
  the

  bears

  label, 
  which 
  I 
  am

  Gory's 
  species 
  was 
  said 
  to

   Malabar.
