Bodv underneath black, son>ewhat *rlossv. sprinkled wiih vetlow hairs. 

 Head suborbicular, .scarcely wider than the prothorax. conliuently punc- 

 tured, bronzed, and <:overed not thickly with short pale-yellow hairs, which 

 give it a cinereous tint, with several indistinct blackish sj)0is ; rhinariuin 

 and upper-lip pale yellow ; nundibles rufous at the base ; stalk ot* the 

 antennae tcstaceou.s, the six last joints are brown and larger than the 

 rest, so as to form a clava : prothorax sculptured, cloathed. and coloured 

 like the head, but more distinctly spotted and clouded with black, widest 

 behind with a slight lateral sinus near the ba.se : scutellum almost covered 

 by a heart-shajjcd vclvetty l)lack .spot : elytra, as to .sculpture, cloathing, 

 and general colour, resembling the head and prothornx, but they are 

 differently spotted with black ; in the centre of the ba.se is an oblique 

 oblong sj)ot, then follows an angular interrupted band, and lastly, is a 

 sicklc-.shaped band with the h.andle towards the lateral margin, the blade 

 is very broad and includes an insulated cinereous spot ; neither of these 

 bands reach the suture or the lateral margin, which is tawny-yellow : the 

 two last segmer.ts of the abdomen, especially the penultimate, are thickly 

 covered with short decumbent hairs, which in certain lights reflect a 

 brilliant golden lustre ; the after-breast is covered with hairs if possible 

 still more brilliant ; the legs are testaceous, but the tl.ighs excc[)t their 

 tip, and a dorsal line, are black. 



This SDCcies resembles .SV. Ii\l>ruius ami niaculosus, but is suliicientlv 

 distinguished b\- its golden tail and l»reast : it is one of the smalle.st of 

 the genus. [Previously described as /,/.v/, '/■/-. yV/.v.s- ciu-nil^iUis C'.raw Xot

This species is extremely similar to C. maxillosm, and its Anieric.in 

 representative. 'I'he following circumstances principally distinguish them.
