One pair. Tlie (^ of this species may be recognized by 

 tlie laterally-sulcate bhick head, which has a rather broad, 

 large, sharply-defined, triangular, whitish patch in front. 

 It is allied to C. pictifruns, an insect with slender antenrue, 

 the prothorax in great part black, and the whitish patch on 

 the head narrow and less extended upwards. The elytral 

 puncturing is nearly as coarse as in C. cribripennis, Ab.

 which belong to the varietal form. The sexual chaiacters 

 were not mentioned by Pic and his type was presumably ? . 



The figure of the palpus is token from a Kliodcsian male.
