Evidently allied to C. drcumduclus, Suffr. but much larger. 

 C. fatmis, Suffr. differs in being paler, the thorax has no spots and 

 the elytral interstices are finely punctured. Lastly, C. fraternus, 

 Duv. is described as having widened terminal joints of the an- 

 tennae, an unspotted thorax, no elytral costa and differently formed 

 prosternum.
