Var. pasaLrs. Subnitidus, fortiter punctatus, pubescentia fulva dense vestitus, 6 
rufus, elytrorum apice irregulariter piceo; elytris seriatim punctatis. Long. 24} lin., 
lat. 1i lin. 
Habitat apud flumina Amazonum. 
Allied to C. fervidus, but rather less convex. Bright testaceous red, with the exterior 
margin of the elytra from the apex of the suture to the shoulders black. Antenne 
fuscous, with the basal joint testaceous red. "Thorax with the sides more densely punc- 
tate than the disk, the posterior angles projecting very slightly backwards. Elytra a 
little shorter and less rounded on the sides than in C. fervidus, lightly punctate in rows, 
with the shoulders and suture rather prominent, each elytron sloping obliquely outwards 
and backwards. 
From Rio Janeiro. A unique specimen in the British Museum. Named as a well- 
deserved homage to Professor Boheman of Stockholm. 
The variety nigripennis is somewhat convex and shining above, clothed with much 
griseous pubescence, punctate. Bright testaceous red, with the scutellum and elytra 
black. Head closely but not deeply punctate. Thorax sparingly punctured on the disk, 
more densely on the sides and posterior angles, which project slightly backwards. Scu- 
tellum black, large, rounded, punctate except along the apical margin. Each elytron 
separately somewhat convex, so that the suture is slightly depressed, coarsely punctate 
and pubescent in rows, apex of each obliquely rounded ; there is a slight indication of 
piceous at the base, next each side of the scutellum. Abdomen slightly punctate. 
A. single specimen was found at Ega by Mr. Bates, and it is preserved in the collection 
of the British Museum. 
The variety Candezei is coloured very much like nigripennis, but is larger, more 
convex, more shining, less pubescent, the pubescence more fulvous, and with the scu- 
tellum and a narrow margin at the base of the elytra bright testaceous red, as well as 
the rest of the body. Elytra black, except the narrow strip at the base, which is broadest 
next to the scutellum, its breadth there equalling the length of the scutellum, but gra- 
dually becoming narrower as it approaches the sides, before reaching sale it epi
