MR. A. MURRAY'S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY OF NITIDULARLE. 385 
griseo-sericeo pubescens, haud punctatus, sed levissime subgranulatus, antennis 
pedibusque testaceis. Long. 1 lin., lat. $ lin. / 
Habitat in Mexico. 
Allied to C. piger. Not so convex, somewhat opaque, dark fuscous, and sparingly 
clothed with a long griseous silky pubescence, not punctate, but very faintly subgranu- 
lose,—the head and thorax bearing as it were marks of scales rubbed off, and the elytra 
somewhat acicularly granulose. Antenne and legs testaceous. The last segment of 
the abdomen so much retracted within the penultimate segment as sometimes not to be 
visible. 
From Mexico. Collected by M. Sallé.

C. dorsalis (Mus. Berol.). 
Leviter convexus, sat brevis, fusco-testaceus, subtiliter punctatus; thorace transverso; 
elytris thorace sesqui eR DN e testaceis, apice vittaque longitudinali 
fuscescentibus. Long. 1 lin., lat. 2-3 lin. 
Var. "Testaceus, elytris pallidis. 
Habitat in Columbia. 
Short, moderately convex, fusco-testaceous, opaque, griseo-pubescent. Antenne tes- 
taceous, club darker. Head faintly punctate. Thorax transverse, gently narrowed in 
front, strongly rounded on the sides, truncate at the apex, with all the angles obtuse and 
somewhat rounded, faintly punctulate. Scutellum densely punctulate. Elytra a half 
longer than the thorax, faintly punctate, pale livid testaceous, with an apical patch and 
a longitudinal fuscous stripe stretching obliquely inwards from within the shoulder to 
the apex; the outer margin also fuscous. Abdomen faintly punctulate, the pygidium 
subimpressed towards the apex. Legs pale. 
It varies in colour, being in some instances testaceous, with pale elytra (probably 
immature). The abdomen is fuscous in both varieties, the last segment and the whole 
of the ventral and half of the dorsal penultimate segments being testaceous. 
From Columbia.

Motsch. Etud. Ent. vii. 42 (1858). 
Corpus elongatum, depressum. Thorax basi elytris angustior. Elytra plus minusve ا‎ Color 
obscurus, plus minusve niger vel piceus, 
Body depressed and somewhat elongate. The thorax flat on the disk. Elytra wider 
than the base of the thorax. Colour obscure, more or less black or piceous. 
The subgenus which I propose thus to characterize was first suggested by Count de 
Motschulsky as an asylum for his species C. fulvipes, which, however, does not belong 
toit. 116 formed it, as he says, *at the expense of the elongate and depressed Carpophili 
like C. sezpustulatus;" but C. fulvipes is not an elongate species, and its depression is
