Head small, finely and sparsely punctate, more closely 

 behind, nearly smooth in middle, t'ovese shallow, eyes fairly 

 prominent, labrnm truncate, antennse long and ^ slender, 

 joint 3 practically glabrous, shorter than 4, apical joint of 

 palpi ( $ ) as in previous species. Protlioraoc convex, much 

 wider than head, nearly circular in outline and as long as 

 wide, extremities truncate, base a little wider than apex, 

 sides moderately rounded, without border, the explanate 

 margin rather gently reflexed and increasing in width from 

 apex to base, hind angles distinct, but obtuse and rounded ; 

 median line fine, foveae shallow and elongate, inconspicuous, 

 surface rather closely, coarsely, and to some extent con- 

 fluently punctate, shortly pubescent. Elytra moderately 

 convex, elongate-ovate, a little more than a third as wide 

 again as prothorax, and rather less than two-thirds as long 

 again as wide, border rounded at shoulder ; striae fairly deep, 

 finely punctate, striole rather long, intervals moderately 

 convex, surface closely and rather finely punctate, shortly 

 pubescent, testaceous spot transverse, at a little more than 

 a third from apex, covering intervals 4-8, the colour on 6 

 extending further both backwards and forwards than on the 

 otlier intervals. Underside glabrous, sterna moderately, 

 sides of venter rather slightly punctate, prosternal process 

 bordered, metepisterna elongate, outwardly sulcate, upper 

 surface of tarsi minutely setose. 



This species is also close to C. o?'Z>ko//f5, Chaud., but with 

 head and prothorax blue-green instead of cupreous, the 

 elytral spot more irregular in outline, joints 2-3 of the 

 autennse darker. Head more finely punctate, prothorax a 

 little wider, with more rounded sides, the margin behind 

 more explanate, elytra rather wider and a little more rugosely 

 punctate.
