Five specimens of this species were captured by Mr J. S. Gardiner in Mahé in 1905. 
It is readily separable from C. stigmaticollis by its straight rostrum in both sexes, the 
rougher, opaque surface, the coarser setosity, the relatively shorter elytra, and the 
non-geminate arrangement of the strize, the elytral interstices thus being subequal in 
width. The ochreous elytral markings are sometimes coalescent, forming a common 
X-shaped patch. The female has the apical portion of the rostrum comparatively slender, 
smoother, and more shining than in the male, that of the male being opaque and coarsely 
punctate to the tip. Boheman’s type was from Bourbon. There is an example of this 
species from Singapore in the British Museum labelled “found destroying sugar cane.”

Loc. Seychelles: Silhouette, Mahé. Madagascar, Mauritius, India, Ceylon, Java,

Seven specimens were found in the Seychelles, three near Mont Pot-d-eau in 
Silhouette (VIII. 1908), three from various localities in Mahé (1908—9), and one from 
a cultivated islet, Anonyme, off Mahé (I. 1909): they include both forms of the insect. 
A very variable species that has been described under many different names. C. sechel- 
larum, from Mahé ( =subsignatus, Gyll.), was based upon a single large female example, 
reddish-brown in colour, with some dark streaks on the prothorax and elytra, and a rather 
elongate second joint to the funiculus, characters that are of no value when a series is 
examined. The name stigmaticollis seems preferable to adopt, rather than that of 
subfasciatus. C. taitensis, Guér., from Tahiti, Fiji, &c., is a closely allied form, varying in 
colour in a similar way; it may be separated from C. stigmaticollis by the more equal 
width of the elytral interstices and the strongly carinate pygidium.
