  Mr.

  additions 
  to 
  the 
  

  

  so 
  conspicuous 
  a 
  feature 
  in 
  that 
  and 
  other 
  allied 
  species 
  ; 
  

   the 
  interstice 
  covered 
  by 
  the 
  whitish 
  spot 
  near 
  the 
  apex 
  

   is 
  nearly 
  quite 
  plane 
  in 
  C. 
  liojptera. 
  The 
  short 
  rows 
  of 
  

   punctures 
  near 
  the 
  base 
  are 
  much 
  smaller 
  than 
  in 
  C. 
  tetra- 
  

   stigma, 
  though 
  the 
  punctured 
  strise 
  on 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  

   surface 
  are 
  much 
  more 
  clearly 
  indicated. 
  The 
  external 
  

   apical 
  angles 
  are 
  more 
  produced, 
  but 
  do 
  not 
  form 
  long 
  

   tooth-like 
  projections, 
  as 
  in 
  C, 
  riifipes.
