 I am indebted to him for three male examples.

 dense puuctato ; elytris obscure trifasciatis, ultra medium sub-

Dull blackish brown, head and thorax densely pubescent ; 

 the head rather flat between the eyes, densely punctured ; the 

 thorax rather convex in female, densely punctured in both 

 sexes, widest in the middle, hind angles not very acute, 

 moderately turned outwards ; the elytra dull brown, with 

 three pale fasciae not well defined, that at the base chiefly 

 occupies the third and fourth interstices, that before the middle 

 the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh, and before the apex there is 

 one similar to the last ; the fasciae vary in breadth, and some- 

 times the outer elytral margin is pale ; the antennas are 

 longer in the male than the female, but not nearly so lax or 

 so long as in those of C. pacatus, brown, and the bases of the 

 articulations sometimes paler ; the legs obscure brown. 



IJah. Kuniamoto. Both sexes taken abundantly on the 

 25th April, 1881, from the flowers of a dog-rose.
