The specimens contained in this collection show no variation 

 except that of size and seem to belong to the group containing 

 C. trifascialus F. and C. tricinctm Redt. but differ from those 

 and other allied species by having two transverse bands instead 

 of three and in having the anterior band placed at the base of 

 the elytra instead of below it. C. multiplex Suff. agrees nearly 

 in the elytral pattern but the thorax in that species is differently 

 marked and there are other details which distinguish that 

 insect from C. birmanicus.
