C. carinatus, Swainson (fig. 97), is placed here by Dr. Wein- 

 katifF, and I agree with him, although Mr. E. A. Smith (Jour. 

 Linn. Soc., xii, 535) makes it a synonym of C. magus. C. 

 anceps (fig. 98), and C. innexus, A. Ad., as well as C. Jtfntl/fi, 

 Crosse (iig. 99), are synonyms. C. ustulatn*, Reeve (fig. 100), 

 is considered by Mr. E. A. Smith a synonym of C. HKKJUX, but 

 1 think it more closely allied to C. consors.
