Tliis species is rcmark able by its^ very finely striatod olytra , in 

 this rcspect C. Saundcrsi Har. appears (from description) to rescmble 

 it. I do not know any species to which it is at all closely allied.

Clypeus with the front margin not interrupted in the middle, 

 but sligttly projecting as two broad very short teeth: in its centre 

 is a conical tubercle, the part in front of wliich is quite smooth and 

 shining, the genae near the eyes rather strongly punctured, behind 

 the tubercle the vertex is rather deeply transvcrsely impressed. The 

 thorax is not sinuate at the sides, the front angles are nearly but 

 not altogether rounded, its punctuation is irregulär, along the middle 

 in front of the base is a short Channel formed by a few punctures, 

 on each side of this thore is no punctuation, in front of it the disc 

 is a little flattened and thore rather coarsely punctured , the small 

 indistinctly retuso front portion is also impunctato , but the front 

 angles and lateral portion of tho tliorax are rather strongly punctured. 

 Tho Striae of the elytra are deep and distinct, the 8th is continued 

 along tho oxtremity of tho elytra and joins the tbird. The pygidium 

 is strongly punctured The bind tarsi are rather long , the basal 

 Joint not triangulär but rather strongly spined at the extremity. 



In this species tho structure of tho front tibia is peculiar. It 

 is broad , and the two apical teeth are sub-amalgaraated and very 

 strongly dircctcd forwards. The species Stands in some respects 

 intermediatc b'etween the aborrant C. pundulatus and the more ordi- 

 nary forras of the genus, I do not know the sex of my two indi- 

 viduals.
