  The

  close 
  resemblance 
  in 
  all 
  

   essential 
  respects

  to

  this 
  to 
  be 
  an 
  

   extreme 
  modification

  C.

  The 
  sculpture 
  

   is 
  intermediate

  of 
  C.

   C.

  A 
  good 
  series 
  of 
  

   examples, 
  all 
  readily 
  distinguishable 
  from 
  C. 
  politum 
  

   and 
  C. 
  diminutum 
  by 
  the 
  broader 
  intra-marginal 
  sulcus 
  

   of 
  the 
  thorax 
  and 
  depressed 
  area 
  near 
  the 
  posterior 
  

   angles, 
  independently 
  of 
  the 
  strongly 
  punctured 
  sides, 
  

   and 
  often 
  also 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  forehead. 
  The 
  general 
  

   form 
  of 
  body 
  is 
  broader 
  and 
  shorter 
  than 
  even 
  in 
  

   C. 
  diminutum.
