Belongs to the small group of Chaudoir's monograph, which 

 contains only two species viz. C. suhmarginatus and C. impres-

Described by Chaudoir from examples obtained at Rangoon 

 and in Northern India. In a large series I have examined from 

 Bengal I observe that the great majority have the punctuation

 do not differ from the Burmese form.
