appendices yellow ; the superior curved strongly under and parallel ; 

 the inferior short, somewhat dilated, appearing to arise from the bases 

 of the superior, and directed outwards. 

 I possess one male of this small species, but with no record of 

 locality. It is possibly Indian.

 There is another Japanese species, C. grandis {Semerohius gran-

 Thunberg's description and coarse figure ; it is very different 

 from C.japonicus.
