382 Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse's descriptions of 



subparallelis apice angustatis, brunneo-fusco velutinis, 

 dimidio basali et fascia obliqua griseo-flavo-sericeis ; ab- 

 dominis segmentis 2° et 3° macula velutina notatis. 

 Long. 6—8^ lin. 



Head above sligbtly concave, unusually narrowed be- 

 tween the antennae, with a longitudinal impressed line, 

 the pubescence forms a patch at the back, divided in the 

 middle into two. Thorax much narrowed in front, dis- 

 tinctly constricted about the middle, rounded and convex 

 in front ; there is a deep punctiform impression on each 

 side of the disk, two small shallow impressions next the 

 scutellum, and an indication of an impression within the 

 posterior angles. The punctuation of the elytra is ex- 

 tremely fine and difficult to see, but there are some large 

 punctures scattered over the sides ; the pubescence is dark 

 velvety-brown, but all the basal portion is clothed with 

 greyish-yellow silky pubescence (intermixed with brown 

 in some lights), a little behind the middle is an oblique 

 band of yellowish pubescence.

The description and figure of C. Templetoni, Westw., 

 agree admirably with this species, but I cannot believe 

 that Prof. Westwood could have omitted all mention of 

 the silky bands on the elytra, which gives the insect such 

 a marked character. 



C. trepida, sp. nov. 



Elongata, angusta, fusca, dense griseo-pubescens ; 

 thorace ante medium rotundato-angustato, creberrime 

 evidenter punctato, utrinque impressionibus tribus parvis ; 

 elytris apicem versus attenuatis, costis vix conspicuis, 

 subtilissime crebre punctulatis, punctis majoribus sat 

 crebre irregulariter dispositis. 



Long. 5 J lin. ; lat. 1 1 lin. 



Head impressed between the eyes, very thickly and 

 distinctly punctured ; antennge very long, the same length 

 as the elytra. Thorax very closely and rather strongly 

 punctured, convex and rounded in front, distinctly nar- 

 rowed in front of the middle, the sides nearly parallel near 

 the posterior angles, which are consequently nearly right 

 angles, the base not very strongly sinuate on each side, 

 slightly lobed over the scutellum, the lobe truncate ; on 

 each side of the disk there is a small not very distinct
