 River (Hamburg Museum). 



A large reddish species with a V as in C. stigma and V- albus, but 

 otherwise very different. On two specimens the antennte and prothorax 

 are rather darker than the rest of the derm, the knees are usually 

 slightly stained with brown. The prothorax appears to have a vague 

 dark line (solely due to the clothing being rather sparser there than 

 elsewhere) towards each side, and immediately beyond tliis line a rather 

 dense stripe of scales. Tlie Y on the elytra is conspicuous and extends 

 from the sutiu-e to the fifth interstice, the derm befoie it, and to a 

 certain extent immediately behind it, is rather sparsely clotlied. The 

 elytra are nnusnally large in proportion to the prothorax.
