The last two are possibly identical, the descriptions agreeing 

 tolerably well. All agree in having the intervals between the 

 striae of the elytra smooth and convex, and are therefore quite 

 distinct from the species just described, 



A fifth species \ however, is known to me in which this differ- 

 ence is not so strongly marked, the characters of its elytra gi^'ing 

 it a place intermediate between C. -revoili and C. nir/osus.

 common in the Nyasa region.
