At first sight suggesting more affinity with the section to which C. dimidiatus belongs 
(subgenus Myothorax) than to this; but a careful examination shows that it is only a very 
elongate and depressed form, belonging to the same section as C. hemipterus. Elongate, 
subfusiform, subdepressed, nearly opaque, very closely punctate, with a hoary pubescence, 
black, with a red spot on each elytron. Head impressed on each side in front. Antenne 
piceous, with the club dusky. "Thorax subquadrate, broader than long, slightly narrower 
in front than behind, sides very slightly rounded and margined, anterior angles slightly 
declinate, obtuse, posterior obtusely rounded, base nearly straight. Scutellum rounded 
at the apex. Elytra scarcely so much as a half longer than the thorax, about as broad 
as the base of the thorax, sides slightly declinate and rounded when viewed from the 
side, apex very slightly obliquely truncate; each elytron with a red patch occupying 
a large part of the middle, its inner side near the suture, at first parallel to it, after- 
wards extending obliquely outwards in front, its posterior margin extending somewhat 
in a curve obliquely forwards, its outer edge rounded, and the anterior portion oblique; 
sometimes the red has extended so far along the suture as to make the whole patch 
somewhat like a rounded triangle or broad cone with its base applied against the suture. 
Abdomen rather long. Legs piceous, tarsi piceo-ferruginous. 
From Sierra Leone. In the British and Berlin Museums, &c. 
Section VII. Body convex and fusiform. Texture so closely punctate as to appear shagreened. 
Elytra without paler spots or markings. 
44. CARPOPHILUS BAKEWELLII. 
Elongato-ovatus, subdepressus, niger, rugoso-punctatus, subopacus, fusco pubescens; 
thorace angulis posticis oblique truncatis, fovea utrinque pube cinerea vestita; an- 
tennis pedibusque piceis. Long. 12 lin., lat. 3 lin. 
Habitat in Victoria in Australia. 
Elongate-ovate, subdepressed, thickly punctate, the punctures flat and pitted, clothed 
with a fuscous pubescence, griseous in parts in certain lights, scarcely shining, except 
on the segments of the abdomen. Mouth and antenne piceous; club darker. Head 
rather broad, with a faint curved line, deeper at each side behind the epistome. Thorax 
transverse, slightly convex, but somewhat flat on the disk behind, narrowest in front;
