 truncate surface outside tlie posterior tarsi, l)ut ciliate tlierc.

Another of Mr. Lewis's captures. 



Obs. — A second example exhibits numerous irregular 

 pitchy-brown spots on the wing-cases and an ill-defined dark 

 space near each side of the throat, and the fifth al)doniinal 

 segment is unimpressed. The hind body is slightly broader. 

 This probal)ly is the female.

('onvex, subovate, rufo-fuscous, antennaj and tarsi paler ; 

 covered with small, rounded, yellowish-grey scales, and with 

 series of ei'ect grey setie on the elytra. 



Rostrum short, parallel-sided, not ridged, apex setose. 

 Antcnnce setigerous ; scape gradually aud considerably iu- 

 crassate, but not clavate, it attains the back of the eye ; 

 funiculus elongate, second joint more slender than the first 

 and nearly as long as that is. Eyes oblique, subrotundate. 

 Thorax almo.-t as long as broad, moderately rounded late- 

 rally, feebly constricted in front, not uneven above, rather 

 finely punctate. Scutellum small. Elytra oviform, wider 

 tlian thorax at base, shoulders rounded ; their punctuation 

 quite serial, third interstices only indistinctly elevated, 

 without nodosities. Leys stout, setose, tibise fiexuous. 



Underside fusco-rufoas, head and prostcrnum with grey 

 scales, the abdomen with grey hairs. The prosternuin in- 

 curved in front. Ocular lobes feebly developed. Apical 

 ventral segment with a broad fovca-like impression occupying 

 quite half of the width. 



Undoubtedly allied to Sharp's C brevicornis, but smaller, 

 without variegation, and with a longer thorax. The eyes 

 differ from those of C. obliquisir/natus in being more rotuu- 

 date. r. vaslator has the rostrum medially carinatc and 

 more expanded in front. Its thorax is widest near the front. 

 The third and fifth clytral interstices are nodiform behind.
