Hah. Perak (Doherty). 



This species is punctured as C. helhis, but is more densely clothed 

 with white scales, only the base of the head and the disk and a 

 narrow transverse band of the thorax are de)uidt;d, and the elytra 

 have a very elegant pattern, the bare parts being a subhumeral 

 spot on each, a common sutural one, then two lateral spots, a 

 rather wide and not very regular fascia, it being widest on the 

 margins, and an apical spot. The elytra have silvery-white hairs 

 over the whole surface ; they are distinctly obliquely truncate, and 

 their punctuation is distinctly in rows, almost striate. I cannot 

 discover any trace of the small tooth ou the hind tibiae of this or 

 the preceding species. 



Four specimens.

 Hah. Assam, Patkai Mountains (UoJierty). 



The head in both this aud the following species (C. alhosparsus) 

 is wider than the thorax, the eyes being large and prominent ; it 

 is very finely punctured at the base, and finely wrinkled longitu- 

 dinally near the eyes in both. The thorax is rather suddenly widened 

 below the anterior coiisti'iction, and then compressed before the 

 bare, the margin of which is distinctly reflexed. The elytra are 

 thickly and deeply punctate, but there is no sign of series or 

 striation ; they are very obsoletely costate, and obliquely truncate. 

 The usual lateral parts beneath are covered with white scales. 

 Two specimens.
