168 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of 



capite thoraceqiie granuloso-punctatis, hoc utrinque sulco 

 basali perpendicular! brevi impresso, sat tenuiter, sub- 

 remote punctate ; elytris fortiter punctato-striatis, inter- 

 spatiis tenuissime leviter transversim rugulosis, tenuiter 

 punctatis, interspatio prime confuse, fortiter punctate. 



Long. 1 § lin. 



Hab. — Persia. 



Head finely granulose, impressed on either side above 

 the eye with a few irregular punctures; front distinctly 

 separated from the face ; encarpge obsolete ; interecular 

 spaces deeply punctured ; carina linear, its apex bounded 

 on either side by a triangular depression ; eyes large ; an- 

 tennse nearly two-thirds the length of the body, five or six 

 outer joints sometimes stained with fuscous. Thorax 

 nearly twice as broad at the base as long ; sides straight, 

 converging from base to apex: hinder angles acute, the 

 anterior thickened, subacute ; above transversely convex, 

 finely granulose, finely and subremotely but distinctly 

 punctured ; on either side at the base is a short slightly 

 curved perpendicular groove. Scutellum semirotundate. 

 Elytra scarcely broader than the thorax at the base, 

 attenuated towards the apex, strongly punctate-striate ; 

 interspaces faintly transversely rugulose, minutely but not 

 closely punctured, short interspace next the suture im- 

 pressed with coarse punctures, equal in size to those on 

 the striae. Tooth on the hinder tibia broad, extending 

 entirely across the outer surface of the limb, compressed, 

 its apex transversely truncate. 



Nearly allied to C. major; narrower, more attenuated 

 posteriorly; the thorax narrower, less strongly punctured 

 and with straighter sides ; the first interspace on the elytron 

 in the present species is also coarsely punctured. Both 

 species may be known fi-om C. chlorophana by the form 

 of the tooth on the hinder tibia ; in C. chlorophana it is 

 placed on the outer edge of the dorsal surface of the tibia, 

 is compressed laterally and its apex is acute ; in the two 

 other species it is broad, compressed transversely, and its 

 apex is transversely truncate.

 reticulato-granuloso, minus fortiter, subremote punctate ;
