The sides of the prothorax bear some scattered whitish liairs. 

 The anterior fascia of tlie elytra is slightly in front of the middle, 

 and is rather wide and much zigzagged ; the hinder fascia is a 

 little narrower and less tlexuous, and scarcely reaches the suture. 

 In some specimens there is a faint reddish spot on either side of 

 the scutellum. 



The above two species appear to difter from those described by 

 Herr Reitter in liaving conspicuous red or testaceous fasciae and 

 markings on the elytra, as well as in the pattern being different. 

 In the species of Herr Reitter the markings appear to be caused 

 by differently coloured pubescence on a unicolorous ground ; in 

 two of them these markings consist of three fasciie, besides basal 

 iind apical spots, while in the other they consist of basal spots and 

 a single median fascia. 



The present species differs from C. Australicum not only in the 

 pattern on its elytra but in its smaller size and mucli coarser 

 .sculpture.

 C. interior is, sp. no v. Ovale, lateribus parum rotundatis ; pilis 

 crebris (his in elytris nigris in partibus nigris albis in parti- 

 bus dilutioribus, in prothorace albis) vestitum ; piceo-nigrum, 

 antennis pedibusque testaceis, femoribus vix infuscatis, 

 elytris maculis magnis testaceis nonnullis ornatis ; sat crebre 

 sat subtiliter subaspere punctulatum ; antennarum clava 

 minus dilatata, articulis 2 mox pone clavam vix a clava dis- 

 tinctis. Long., 1— If 1. ; lat, J— /qI- 

 The comparatively small size of the antennal club and the in- 

 crease in width of the eighth and ninth joints, making tliem ap- 

 pear almost as belonging to the club, are perhaps a little incon- 

 sistent with this genus, but the club is in other respects quite 

 normal, and all the other characters are as in typical 

 Cry2)torhopalum. Joints 3-9 of the antenna^ are extremely short, 

 8 and 9 scarcely longer, though evidently wider than the preced- 

 ing joints ; 10 is as long as the preceding tlu^ee together, and 

 much wider; 11 is very much longer and wider than 10, and is 

 rounded. 



The pattern on the upper surface is very intricate. The pro- 

 thorax is much clothed with longish white hairs. Each elytron 

 bears five large testaceous sjoots, of which one is close to the 

 scutellum, one behind tlie shoulder, one near the suture in front 

 of its middle (this and the spot beliind the slioulder are in some 

 examples obscurely joined into a fascia), one a little in front of 

 the apex on the disc, and 1 at tlie apex (the apical two are in 

 some examples obscurely joined into a vitta). The white hairs 

 on the elytra are not strictly limited to the testaceous parts, but 

 seem to form an independent pattern in three ill-defined fasciae
