  In 
  C. 
  circumcincta 
  the 
  thorax 
  has 
  a 
  similar 
  curved 
  

   fold, 
  or 
  wheal, 
  near 
  to 
  the 
  explanated 
  lateral 
  margin, 
  but 
  

   the 
  thorax 
  is 
  narrower, 
  the 
  sides 
  scarcely 
  curved 
  from 
  

   the 
  middle 
  to 
  the 
  fore 
  angle, 
  and 
  strongly 
  sinuated 
  behind 
  ; 
  

   the 
  outline, 
  however, 
  varies 
  considerably 
  in 
  C.chlovotcenia. 
  

   The 
  legs 
  also 
  are 
  concolorous, 
  rufous.

  Hah.

  Two 
  examples 
  only, 
  both 
  females. 
  The 
  emarginate 
  

   and 
  not 
  bilobate 
  penultimate 
  tarsal 
  joints, 
  added 
  to 
  the 
  

   coloration, 
  are 
  almost 
  sufficient 
  to 
  show 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  

   belongs 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  Loxopeza, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  only 
  on 
  the 
  

   examination 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  tarsi 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  that 
  its 
  true 
  

   position 
  can 
  be 
  decided. 
  It 
  is 
  smaller 
  and 
  slenderer 
  

   than 
  L. 
  atriceps 
  ; 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  brassy 
  green.
