Sjiincd in tlic niidillo, w itli tlie anterior and posterior angle^j 

 sliarj)ly rounded and destitute of any trace of a spine. Elytra 

 fulvous testaceous, soiuewliat darker towards the base, thickly 

 punctured, and each with four or tive feebly raised lines, 

 i^ody underneath light reddish brown, with a rather sparse 

 tawny ])i beseence, which is somewhat thicker anil longer on 

 the breast. Antenna? with the third joint a little shorter than 

 the fourth, the ramus of the tliird j )int as long as the body of 

 the joint, the ramus of the fourth joint about as long as the 

 body of the fifth joint, and the rami of joints fit'tli to ninth each 

 longer than the body of the succeeding joint. 



This species in size, form, punctuation, and pubescence 

 agrees pretty closely with C.jfdbel/icorni's, vServ. The elytra 

 and the underside of the body are, however, much lighter in 

 colour ; the eyes below arc not more than half as far apart, 

 and the structure of the antenna is different. In the seven 

 male specimens of C.jlaheUicornis before me the tliird joint of 

 the antennae is in every case about equal to or a little longer 

 than the fourth, and is not furnished with a distinct ramus, 

 but is merely produced at its inner apical termination into a 

 very short angular process ; the ramus of the tourth joint is 

 never longer than half the fifth joint, and in no case is the 

 ramus of any joint longer than the body of the succeeding 

 joint.

Dark brown, closely and finely punctured. Head, pro- 

 thorax, and breast with a somewhat sparse tawny villosity. 

 Elytra with but the faintest trace of costfe ; clothed with a 

 rather sparse fulvous pubescence. Antenna? with the joints 

 from the second to the tenth gradually increasing in length 

 and each provided with a very long ramus; the tsnth joint 

 about equal in length to the scape, the eleventh as long as 

 the six preceding taken together. 



This species resembles the same sex of 7\ pectinicornisy 

 Waterh., but is easily distinguished by the structure of the 

 antennae. In iiectinicornis the branches of the antennal joints 

 are much shorter and the third joint is almost as long as the 

 scape and longer than any of the succeeding joints, the eleventh 

 excepted.
