rii^Iit, sharp, jtiojecting slightly laterally; transverse im- 

 pressioiia inconspicuous, median line faint, basal fovetii deep 

 (niakini; hind anj^les appear reflt'xed), tlie whole surface 

 dtn-*tlv punctate. 



l']lytia (.■i*7r)-475 mm. wide) parallel, rather rectangular, 

 more than twice as lon^ as thorax, shoulders advanced, apex 

 nearly squarely truncate ; each elytron with nine primary 

 narrow riilges, of which the first is close to the suture and 

 the ninth (flatter and wider than the others) not far from 

 margin, two secondary rather finer ridges between the 

 primary ones, a row of .«etiferous punctures running between 

 each primary and secondary ridge, but not between tlio 

 scondury ones, a row of large pores inside the ninth ridge, 

 from which emerge a few long sette, cliiefly visible near base 

 and apex ; the testaceous spots, more or less rounded, placed 

 a little before middle, and extending from primary ridges 

 2 to 6. 



Underside, excej)t middle of head and a small space on each 

 side near base of ventral .surface, densely punctate and pubes- 

 cent ; prosternal process not borilered, metepisterna elongate, 

 last ventral segment in both sexes slightly emarginate, witii 

 half-a-dozen sette, longer than the general pubescence, on 

 each side. 



'I'arsi setose on upper surface, joint 1 of hind tarsi = (very 

 nearly) 2 + 3 + 4; front tarsi in ^ with three joints modf. 

 rately dilated, densely fringed with long yellowish hairs and 

 with a row of ragged whitish scales along outer margin 

 beneath. 



Closely allied to 1^. himaculatuSy Macl., but distinguished 

 bv the much denser puncturation of the head, with large and 

 small punctures mingled together, iirothorax more transvers;', 

 wider in front, and more contracted beliind, hind angles 

 sharper and projecting a little laterally, basal fovere deeper, 

 puucturatioji coarser and closer, occasionally confluent, pro- 

 t pisterna more evidently punctate (in biniaculatus nearly 

 .smooth) .

This name is preoccupied by C. cupreicolUs, C. O. AVaterh. 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1577, p. 1. I suggest C. aneicolUs. 

 The species seems very closely allied to C. aruensxsj fcjaund.
