of the tibiie ; the apical part of the elytra is moderately strongly 

 declivous (not very nearly perpendicular), and the upper outline 

 of the elytra (viewed from the side) is an even curve (i.e., from 

 tlie scutellum to the apex there is no ninuation in the outline). 

 No doubt near C. atireolus, Pasc., but inter alia with the joints 

 of the antennal funiculus very differently proportioned.

This species has much of the facies of a FolyjArades, but its 

 antenna- are those of a Cherrus, the scape being long enougli to 

 impinge upon the prothorax when set back. It is a narrow 

 elonn-ate insect with a protliorax of somewhat globular appear- 

 ance, and much more nitid than the elytra. The sculpture of the 

 prothorax is -^'ery much like that of Leptops trihnhis, but it 

 becomes quite obsolete close to the fr-ont margin. The elytra are 

 moder-atel}- strongly declivous behind, and tlie elytral outline 

 viewed from tlie side is a nearly even curve, but is sliglitly 

 sinuous close to the apex, owing to the apex itself being a little 

 prominent hindward.
