Hab. Borneo, Sarawak : Mt. Mataiig. 



A siiijile specimen of this beautiful species was found by 

 Mr. G. E. Bryant in December 1913. It is a little larger 

 than C. lutea Gorh., and more stout and globular in shape. 

 The sides of the prothorax are a little more rounded in 

 front and not serrated, the angles are less prominent and 

 the basal stria is nearly straight and farther from the 

 hind margin. The elytra are much shorter and more 

 convex, the punctures larger, more regular and less close 

 together, and the clothing of stifE hairs not close and 

 irregular but arranged in quite regular rows. The large 

 serial punctures each give rise to a stiff golden hair which 

 is pointed obliquely backwards, and between each two of 

 the longitudinal rows so formed there is another row of 

 similar but longer and erect hairs. As ip C. lutea, the 

 head, the broad thoracic margins and the antennae are 

 clothed with similar long hairs, the club of the antenna 

 is very loosely articulated, the first and second joints 

 composing it transverse and nearly twice as long as those 

 preceding, and the terminal joint broadly oval. The 

 footstalk is much longer than the club.

Hab. S. India : Nilgiri Hills {H. L. Andrewcs). 



This is larger, more hemispherical and much more 

 closely hairy than C. seriesetosa. It is clothed with erect 

 yellow hair, longitudinally arranged upon the elytra as 

 in that species, but in rather dense bands separated by 

 narrow lines which coincide with the lines of punctures.
