deep, confluent punctures, slightly broader than long, hardly convex 

 on the disk, but with the sides recurved and the margin sharp, sub- 

 hexagonal, but with the median lateral angle somewhat rounded, 

 and the posterior margin slightly incised above the posterior angle 

 which is sharp, base broad, truncate, lateral part briefly diagonal ; 

 elytra twice as broad as the prothorax past the median part, and 

 one-third broader at the base which is sloping towards the rounded 

 humeral part, not much convex, deeply and narrowly striate with 

 the intervals convex, moderately carinate, and with a series of 

 duplicate punctures on each side ; tarsi densely hairy underneath, 

 the hairs rufescent. Length 22 mm. ; width 10 mm.

Shape, size, and colouring of C. impunctiis, but the shape of the 

 prothorax is very different ; it is truncate at the apex, the outer 

 sides are ampliated in a semicircle from the anterior angle to 

 past the median part, from there deeply sinuated above the posterior 

 angle which is sharp, and the median part of the base is much 

 produced behind, the disk is plane with the outer sides much 

 recurved from the median part to the posterior angle, and the 

 upper side is scrobiculate, and has a moderately dense pubescence ; 

 elytra a little less than twice as broad as the prothorax past the 

 median part, and hardly one-third broader at the base, briefly 

 pubescent, striate with the striae foveate, and the intervals highly 

 carinate, and having on each side a series of smaller foveas coales- 

 cing with the broader ones in the striae ; tarsi spinose underneath. 

 Length 23 mm. ; width 10 mm.

Black, moderately shining ; head moderately large, eyes pro- 

 minent, labrum and epistoma smooth, head and neck very rugose ; 

 third joint of antennae longer than the following two put together ; 

 prothorax hexagonal with the median part not acute, very slightly 

 indented in the posterior angle, base truncate, disk plane, very 

 rugose, briefly pubescent, a little depressed laterally behind, outer 

 posterior margins recurved ; elytra elongato-ovate with the shoulders 

 well rounded, moderately convex, narrowly punctato-striate, with 

 the intervals moderately convex and closely and deeply pitted, 

 covered with a short black decumbent pubescence, and having on 

 each side two bright yellow patches, a sub-basal one extending from
