346 MR. A. MURRAY'S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY OF NITIDULARLE. 
Allied to C. discolor ; rather larger, broader, oblong-ovate, convex, shining, punctate, 
deep black. Head not distinctly punctate, very smoothly subpunctate. Mandibles and 
palpi black; base of the antennze clear testaceous. Thorax as in C. discolor, but more 
convex, especially in front, the lateral margin stronger. Elytra broader and less dis- 
tinctly punctate. Legs clear testaceous. In other respects as in C. discolor. 
Most readily distinguished from C. discolor by the general colour, by the mandibles and 
palpi being black, and by the clearer pale testaceous legs and base of the antennze: the 
punctuation on the head is much finer and closer than on the thorax, while in C. discolor 
it is of the same character. 
From Old Calabar. Received from the Rev. W. C. Thomson and placed in the British 
Museum.

anterior angles nearly right angles, posterior angles obtuse; disk convex, coarsely and 
thickly punctate, in some individuals darker than the rest of the body ; there is a short 
smooth line in front of the scutellum, and a deep fovea on each side towards the pos- 
terior angles; base bisinuate; sides deeply margined. Scutellum subpentagonal, apical 
angles rounded; smooth, except towards the base, which is punctate, pubescent, and 
darker in colour. Elytra convex, with the sides bulging and rounded, deeply margined, 
most so towards the base, widest a little before the middle, more pubescent and less 
coarsely punctate than the thorax; shoulders little prominent, the scutellum and 
sutural region and the outer margins darker-coloured; apex of each elytron truncate 
obliquely backwards from the suture, exterior apical angles rounded, sutural apical 
angles obtuse. Abdomen convex; segments large, except the pygidium, which is smallest.
