transverse, narrowly depressed, with four raised carinse on the depressed 

 margin simulating teeth. Apical joint of the iiagellum shorter than the 

 penultimate, slightly curved. First abdominal segment about twice as 

 long as broad ; the raised area at the base of the second ventral segment 

 not clearly defined. Sixth ventral segment with a short acute spine on 

 each side at the apical angles. Pygidial area coarsely punctured, narrowed 

 at the base, truncate at the apex, half as long again as the greatest 

 breadth. The striee on the enclosed area at the base of the median 

 segment are longitudinal and very coarse. 



Habitat. — Mount Abu (^Xurse). 



In colour this resembles C. albopicta Sm.

Long. 7 mm. 



5 . Clypeus convex, porrect at the apex, the margin widely triangularly 

 incised, the angles of the incision slightly produced and almost forming 

 teeth. Antennse inserted nearly half as far again from the anterior ocellus 

 as from the base of the clypeus ; the second joint of the flagellum less than 

 tialf as long again as the third. Eyes almost parallel ; posterior ocelli a 

 little further from the eyes than from each other. Pronotum, not depressed 

 in the middle, rounded at the angles ; mesopleurse without tubercles. 

 First abdominal segment a little broader than long ; second ventral seg- 

 ment with a very indistinct raised area at the base. Pygidial area 

 closely punctured, nearly twice as long as broad, truncate at the apex, the 

 sides parallel. Closely and rather coarsely i^unctured ; the enclosed area 

 at the base of the median segment shining, with a few large punctures. 

 First recurrent nervure received just beyond one-quarter from the base of 

 the second cubital cell.
