are granulose, or rather are broken by the coarse puuetures of the 

 strife in the basal half. 



1 have possessed this species for many years, under the name 

 humerale. M. Chevrolat's description is not very accurate, as in 

 a very long series of examples I do not find any with two linear 

 grey fasciae. The legs are black, with the exceptions which I have 

 pointed out ; the femora are not more stout than is usual in the 

 smaller species of this genus. The application of the name 

 humerale came about by a reprehensible system of so labelling 

 species which it was intended to describe ; my specimens were pro- 

 bably so named by AVhite for the late Mr. W. W. Saunders, and it 

 is weU that that name should now drop for that of M. Chevrolat. 

 It is common apparently at Singapore and Perak.

I have already (7. c. p. 101) suggested that these may be, and 

 probably are, synonyms, but in such an obscure genus I cannot 

 affirm that they are so.

Black with a slight brown tint, and clothed with long upright 

 hairs ; only the thorax is rufous, and the mandibles and two basal 

 joints of the antennae pitchy red. The thorax is not so conically 

 contracted as in C. savf/uinicoUis, kSpin. (to which I refer the 

 species from the Andaman Isles), but the sides are subparallel 

 till they are rounded in to the strangulation. Its disk is very 

 smooth and sparsely impressed w ith a few distinct points ; it is a 

 little depressed in the middle, but with no constricted line in front. 

 The antenna; are remaikable for the mode in which the rami 

 spring fiom the base of each joint; each ramus is as long as three 

 joints, and the apical joint widens from its base to near the middle, 

 and from thence is awl-shaped. The basal node of the thorax is 

 black and has the usual double tumidity; the front tibiic are 

 compressed, widened in the middle, and somewhat distorted.
