between the dorsal stride ; the head, frontal stria complete, 

 most visibly punctured on the anterior portion ; the thorax, 

 stria complete and close to the edge, distinctly punctured 

 laterally, disk very finely punctulate ; the elytra, striae 1-4 

 complete, 5 apical but reaching the middle, sutural usually 

 shortened at both ends ; the pygidium and propygidium 

 rather closely punctured throughout, punctures moderately 

 large and mixed with some much smaller ; the prosternum is 

 distinctly punctured between the striee (which meet anteriorly), 

 with the keel wider (especially at the base) than that of 

 C. cenescens, Er., and the acumination of the mesosternum is 

 more prominent and more robust. In one sex there are 

 two deep oval foveas longitudinally placed at the apex of the 

 pygidium. 



The elytral striae are variable in this species ; the fourth is 

 sometimes shortened, and the sutural in one specimen is joined 

 to the fourth at the base. The punctuation of the elytral 

 interspaces is sometimes scarcely perceptible.

 conjunctis.
