Related to C. latipes Swederus. Head, antennae, pronotum, 

 and legs black. Elytra shining black, broader than pronotum, 

 at apical third with an irregular, dentate, yellowish, rufescent 

 patch. This marking is larger and of different shape than that 

 in C. latipes. Head, front smooth 

 ward vertex, irregularly rather densely 

 asperate or rugose and finely set 

 tennse, first joint with rather coarse and 

 irregularly scattered asperities and also 

 more strongly setigerous. S 

 ninth joints finely setose, particularly at 

 outer margins. Pronotum strongly 

 perate at anterior margin, otherwise 

 smooth, with a feebly pronounced, elong- 

 ate depression at middle, the margins 

 with a setose fringe. Legs scatteringly 

 punctate and finely setose. ' v ""^;;;~~ '~" 



Length, 13.8 millimeters. 



Mindanao, Lanao Province, Sacred Mountain, near Camp 

 Keithley (A. W. Herre) . Type in the collection of the Bureau 

 of Science, Manila. 



I name this interesting species in honor of its collector, who 

 found it under some loose bark. From the same tree Doctor 

 Herre collected a species of ant, Polyrhachis bihamata Drury, 

 but whether the paussid has any relation to this formicid or 

 not I am unable to say.
