extending beyond the inner half, and a smaller comma- 

 shaped mark towards the extremity. The female is a littie 

 more elongate in shape and each elytron bears a single large 

 \vcll-(h'hned yellow patch npon its inner half, leaving only a 

 fine black line at the sntnre, a rather narrow anterior border, 

 and a Ijioader posterior one. It is probal)le that the pattern 

 is not distinctive of the sex, bnt that, as iu the allied species, 

 the coloration is very inconstant.

This is a form representing C. pectoralis, Bainb., to the 

 east of the region inliabited by that species, which is found 

 from Sierra Leone to Lagos. It has a close resemblance to 

 C. pectoraUs, but is without the orange sides to the mcta- 

 sternum indicated by the name, the lateral angles of the 

 pronotura are much more sharply produced, and the meta- 

 sternum is more strongly punctured at the sides.
