nised from both these species by the anterior part of the clypeus 

 having in the male no traces of a transverse keel, the punctures on 

 both the clypeus and head are broader and slightly deeper than in 

 C. rufina, and the anterior part of the clypeus is not emarginate ; 

 the head is infuscate but has a reddish spot on the clypeus, the pro- 

 thorax is rufescent but with an ill-defined, infuscate lateral patch ; 

 the scutellum is black and the elytra livid brown ; the sculpture is 

 that of C. rufiiui.

 very deep round punctures separated by a distinct interval ; pro- 

 thorax of the usual shape, the punctures fairly deep and distinct ; 

 scutellum plainly punctate ; elytra more ampliated laterally past the 

 middle in proportion to the size than the other species of that group,
