 in L. virgata the third joint is nearly equal in length to the 

 fourth, in the present species it is distinctly shorter.

Face elongate, neck deeply constricted, vertex and front 

 nitidous, impunctate, the latter impressed with a longitudinal 

 groove; orbit of eyes and lower face closely punctured ; antenna} 

 robust, nearly equal to the body in length, the joints cyhndrical, 

 the fifth to the ninth very slightly compressed and laterally 

 dilated. Thorax about a fifth longer than broad, cylindrical, 

 constricted at the extreme apex, sides armed behind the latter 

 with a small obtuse tubercle ; broadly but not deeply constricted 

 in the middle, upper edge of the constriction bounded by a 

 distinct longitudinal ridge, immediately above Avhich is a longi- 

 tudinal groove ; surface nitidous, very minutely punctured, a 

 longitudinal space on the middle disc, together with the sides 

 near the anterior angles more distinctly punctured ; at the base 

 are several faint ill-defined transverse grooves. Scutellum 

 narrowly oblong, aiu-eo-sericeous. Elytra much broader than 

 the thorax, narrowly oblong, slightly attenuated towards the 

 apex, very shghtly thickened at the base, transversely excavated 

 beloAV the basilar space, foveolate-punctate, the punctures 

 arranged in longitudinal rows, the rows on the sides are 

 much interrupted and all below the middle entirely obsolete. 

 Thighs thickened, the hinder pair nearly reaching to the apex 

 of the elytra, abdomen with four longitudinal rows of patches of 

 aureo- sericeous hairs. 



From C. somvpnnctata, the only species with which it can be 

 confounded, it is known by its narroAver form, by its larger 

 thorax, longer and more slender antennte, and by the golden 

 colour of the pubescence on the scutellum and under surface 

 of the body.
