 Both t lie maxillary and labial pal])i very lonn- ClyjM'us Hul)carinat<' behind, 

 its median portion tru|)ozoidal, a little broader than lon^, it8 lateral portions 

 very narrow and reachinK to tlie ant4'rior corners of the head, it« anterior 

 border strainht and entire. (Myin-al foveae small and de<'i). Frontal area 

 large, semicircular, rather indistinct. Frontal carinae siKinoidal, at their 

 greatest curvature fully lus far a|)art as their distance from the lat<'ral borders 

 of the head. Antennae long and slender, inserte<l well behind the clypcal 

 border, the nearly straight scajx-s extending about half their length Iwyond 

 the occipital border of the head. Thorax shaped like that of Hypoclinea, 

 broadest through the pronotum which, including the neck, is as long jus broad, 

 evenly munded and convex above; mesonotum Ijroadly and doejily constricted 

 Ix^hind, the anterior dorsal outline in profile falling rather steeply with an even 

 curve from the pronotum to the depression in which lie the two very prominent 

 metathoracic stigmata. Kpinotum about as broad as tlie mesonotum, (»ily a 

 little lower than the pronotum, with subequal base and declivity, the former 

 longitudinally and transversely rounded, rising rather steejjly in front and 

 meeting the latter at a right angle which is neither sharp nor marginatc. 

 Petiole narrow, as long as high, the node at its anterior end, erect and very 

 blunt and rounded, lower than the epinotum. Gastcr elliptical. Legs long 

 and slender, di.stinctly compressed, tibiae without bristles on their flexor 

 surfaces. 



Shining; mandibles subopaque, very finely and sparsely punctate; gastcr 

 transversely alutacooas, with sparse, piligerous punctures. 



Hairs long, erect, rather abundant, in part very long and flexuous on the 

 dorsal surface of the head, thorax, and petiole, whitLsh, with brown bases in 

 some lights, shorter on the front and sides of the head; long, abundant, and 

 oblique on the scapes and legs. Pubescence 3'ellowish, confined to the an- 

 tennal funicuh. 



Brown; fore tibiae and bases of middle and hind tibiae paler; neck, mandi- 

 bles, except the teeth, cheeks, anterior border of clypeas, antennal funiculus 

 except the basal half of the first joint, whitLsh yellow; posterior portion of 

 clj-peus and antennal insertions somewhat darker; palpi dark brown, with 

 pale articulations. 



Described from a single specimen taken on Mt. Matang, W. Sara- 

 wak by Prof. Harrison W. Smith. 



This species is related to C. doUchoderoidcs Forel but is smaller, 

 shining and with very different pilosity and very differently shaped
