Tins species is also allied to tlio two preceding, especially the 

 latter, but is more convex, narrower behind, the granulations 

 proportionally smaller, tbose on the elytra not confluent, and 

 tlie scales beneath, except on the throat and sides of the pro- . 

 thorax, scattered and piliform.

Tliis species may be placed after C. gcniculatus, Kirsch. (Berl, 

 Ent. Zeit. 18G9, p. 187).

In coloration it resembles the preceding, but will be at once 

 distinguished by its glossy prothorax.

A very distinct species, which I have dedicated to Mr. Clarence 

 Buckley, whose two journeys into the interior of South America, 

 proceeding from Guayaquil, resulted in the discovery of many 

 novelties, especially in Lepidoptera.
