This is a common species, known, I believe, under the 

 above name, and also confounded with capensis. It is a 

 flatter insect than C. lunaris and more parallel, the parallel 

 appearance being partly clue to the great width of the head. 

 The thorax is rather parallel-sided. The large male has the 

 thorax almost without punctuation except the deep cavity on 

 each side of the disk and in the lateral fovea ; the median 

 lobe is emarginate in front, with its angles obtusely dentiform 

 and with a very small tooth slightly removed from the angle ; 

 the anterior surface of this lobe is smooth and shining, and it 

 has on each side three or four minute tubercles. 



In the smaller males the thorax has the median lobe trun- 

 cate in front, with four small tubercles, the middle pair a 

 little nearer to each other than to the lateral ones ; the ante- 

 rior upper margin is punctured, and the anterior declivity, as 

 well as the cavities and anterior angles, are closely and 

 rather coarsely rugose. The pygidium is smooth or almost so. 



It is possible that the specimens which I have described as 

 the large and smaller males may be referable to distinct 

 species. The difference in the sculpture of the anterior 

 declivity of the thorax may be a specific character.

This species may be placed near G. orion and G. amyntor. 

 It is decidedly more convex than C. lunaris. The head is 

 relatively narrower, more obliquely narrowed behind the
