than the thorax ; the shoulders not very prominent, fuscous, with an oblong quadrangular 
patch near the scutellum and near the apex, the sides somewhat declinate, rounded and 
margined. The exposed segments of the abdomen large and very lightly punctate. An- 
tenns ferruginous, with the club fuscous. Legs ferruginous. 
Sometimes the testaceous part of the elytra encroaches upon the brown, so that they 
are wholly testaceous with merely a brown vitta reaching from the shoulder to the apex. 
From Ceylon and other parts of the East Indies.

Smaller and more convex than C. bisignatus of Boheman, more closely and deeply 
punctate. Thorax more quadrate, the anterior angles obtuse, the posterior rounded, 
base somewhat rounded. Each elytron with a red spot, angular on the outer side, oblique 
on the inner side. The woodcuts here given are only intended to show the form and 
position of the red spot; in other respects they have no pretensions to accuracy.

Nearly allied to C. bisignatus of Boheman. Narrower, not so convex, more especially

the sides more parallel, not more pubescent than the thorax, with the red spot more in 
front and somewhat transverse. Legs rufo-ferruginous.
