oblique. The elytra are equally smooth, sometimes only the sutural stria is visible, and in 

 all examples this stria is the only one sharply impressed, most so towards the apex. 



Hab. Between Yangi Hissar and Sirikol. One example, much the most feebly striated, 

 Sind Valley. 



61. CTMIKDIS GLABRELLA. 



Bates, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1878, p. 719. 



C. andrese (Menetr.} affinis ; at gracilior, oculis minus prominulis, elytrisque fusco-casta- 

 neis, flavomarginatis. Gracilis, glaberrima, castaneo-rufa, abdominis margine picescenti, 

 capite obscuriori, partibus oris, antennis,pedibus, elytrorumqiie margine fulvo-testaceis : capite 

 angusto, sparsim punctulato : thorace capite hand latiori, anguste cordato lateribus postice 

 leviter sinuatis angulis posticis fere rotundatis, spar sissime punctulato : elytris basin versus 

 angustatis, Immeris rotundatis, subpunctulato-striatis, interstitiis sparsim punctulatis : palpis 

 labialibus apice modice dilatatis, triangularibus. 



Long. 4 4f lin. 



Allied to C. andrece. Upper surface naked and shining, labial palpi moderately dilated, 

 triangular. Eyes scarcely prominent, and punctuation of the whole upper surface very sparse 

 and minute. General colour castaneous, but the thorax redder and the head slightly darker, 

 the margins of the elytra (extending to the 8th strise) are pale testaceous-fulvus, the ante- 

 nnae, legs, and parts of the mouth being of a similar hue. 



The species seems to be closely allied to C. pallidula (Chaudoir) from Lenkoran ; but in 

 that species the elytra are not wider at the base than the base of the thorax ; in C. glabrella 

 they are (taken together) nearly double the width.

Sab. Pamir ; between Sirikol and Panga : also the Pangong Valley and between Dras 

 and Leh. By the Russian entomologists recorded as from the Tarbagatai Range. The ely tral 

 interstices are of equal breadth and punctured each in more than one row. The Pangon- 

 specimens are generally more shining in colour and with more convex and more strongly 

 punctured ely tral interstices ; ?=rujipes, Gebler.

Jlab. Between Dras and Leh ; one example agreeing with the description given of the 

 elytra by Baron Chaudoir, 1. c., vis., alternate interstices narrower and with one row only of 

 punctures.
