Black, with the apical part of the elytra reddish brown, or entirely 

 dark brown and sometimes reddish brown ; head deeply impressed 

 laterally, and also in the centre, the lateral impressions slightly 

 plicate ; ocular lamina incised slightly at the junction with the angle 

 of the epistoma, which is slightly sinuate in the anterior part ; labrum 

 deeply emarginate ; antennae pubescent, first joint not as long as the 

 following two, very moniliform from the third joint to the eleventh, 

 the latter ovate, broader than the others ; prothorax elongato-quad- 

 rate, a little broader at the posterior than at the anterior angles, 

 lateral sides of the base oblique, median part projecting a little, 

 posterior angles slightly dentate ; elytra cylindrical, truncate at the 

 base, with the humeral angle acute and dentate, deeply punctato- 

 striate, with the intervals moderately broad and convex, with the 

 basal part of the seventh and eighth carinate, outer margin broad, 

 with a series of small foveae, third interval with three punctures on 

 the outer side of the convexity ; anterior tibiae with a conspicuous 

 tooth above the digitation, intermediate ones with a conspicuous 

 tooth at the apex of the outer carina. Length 9-11 mm.; width

According to Putzeys, loc. cit., this species, which I have not seen, 

 is distinguished from C. grandis, with which it is closely allied by its 

 smaller size, by the more elongated and less convex elytra ; the pro- 

 thorax is longer and a little broader in the anterior part, the vertex 

 of the head is less rugose, the laminse are less distinctly separated 

 from the epistoma, the labrum is hardly emarginate, the mandibles 

 are thicker, hardly carinate on the upper side and shorter ; lastly, 

 the digits of the anterior tibiae are less developed. Length 8 mm. ; 

 width 2f mm.

Putzeys in his description of this species is not quite certain that 

 it is a distinct species, for he adds that " only the examination of a 

 number of examples will decide if the differences (between Bohemafii 

 and grandis) are constant and not merely accidental."
