" Very abundant at the mouth of the Pic river^ on the north 

 side of Lake Superior, under dried animal matter. This species 

 is broader and less convex than C. consobrinus, and is easily 

 known by the more distinct punctuation, and by the absence of 

 the transverse lines. The thorax is densely and finely punctulate ; 

 it is about twice as wide as its length, strongly narrowed in 

 front, rounded on the sides, especially anteriorly, slightly emar- 

 ginate at apex, truncate at base, and very slightly sinuate at the 

 posterior angles, whicli are scarcely perceptibly acute. The 

 anterior tarsi of the male, and the first joint of the middle tarsi, 

 are dilated t-"
