Antennae rather short, the third joint scarcely longer than the 

 second. Head with a well-marked fovea on the vertex, continued 

 anteriorly by a fine channel. Thorax convex, sloping down at the 

 sides, a little broader than long, nearly parallel posteriorly, very 

 slightly narrowed in front, smooth on the disk, with a few distinct 

 punctures at the sides ; the anterior angles obtuse and not at all 

 prominent ; the sides very finely margined ; the posterior angles 

 right angles ; the base broadly lobed in the middle. Elytra not 

 much broader than the thorax, parallel, convex, the lines of punc- 

 tures well marked ; the apical quarter and the lateral margin black ; 

 the black on the margin extends a little on the shoulder, and about 

 the middle has a quadrangular projection, which extends to about 

 the third dorsal stria. 



Variety. "With the median black stripe of the thorax almost 

 wanting.

This species somewhat resembles C. succincta, Guerin, but has 

 the thorax narrower in front and more convex, &c.

 Long. 3 lin. 



Antennae moderately long, the third joint nearly twice as long as

 long, convex, parallel, closely and very strongly punctured, the sur- 

 face uneven, with a slight oblique impression on each side of the disk 

 behind ; anterior angles not at all prominent, obtuse ; the sides 

 straight, finely margined. Scutellum blackish. Elytra nearly twice 

 as broad as the thorax, a little wider near the apex than at the base, 

 with a distinct impression in the middle of the base of each ; the 

 lateral margins distinctly reflexed ; very strongly and closely punc- 

 tate-striate, the interstices very narrow and convex; deep reddish 

 yellow, the suture and the apex broadly black, the shoulders dusky.
