Singapore (Wallace !). 



The species greatly resembles a Ilister, even more so thau Cac- 

 cohius Msteroides. The clypeus is completely rounded in front and is 

 finely punctured, rather closely in front, sparingly behind. Thorax 

 with the sides rounded in front of the middle, then narrowed behind, 

 so as to appear sinuate at the sides , the bind angles are distinct 

 though very obtuse, it is quite destitute of depressions or elevations, 

 and is ratlier sparingly punctured , the diso finely , the sides more 

 coarsely. The elytra are iiiuch rounded at the sides, each with 7 

 Striae which do not reach the extremity , and of which the outer is 

 abbreviated. The ineso>tcrnura is rather coarsely punctured. The 

 metasternura is finely punctured on its front part , smooth in the 

 middle, more distinctly punctured on the hiud part.

Very closely allied to C. Vulcamis , but darker in colour , and 

 differing by the armature of the head and thorax ; in other respccts 

 it so closely resembles that species that a füll description is unne- 

 cessary ; the anterior carina of the clypeus is wanting , the posterior 

 one is at its base nearer the front of the head, and its lateral horns 

 are twisted, so that their broad face is placed laterally, and they are 

 not truncate, but obliquely rounded at the extremity; the thorax is' 

 abruptly retuso near the front, and the margin of the retuse part is 

 a little emarginate in the middle but not in the least lobed. 



I obtained this species from the collection of Laferte, where it 

 was labelled „Onthophagus himspis Reiche. Java."
