angles of the incision sharp and reflexed ; head simple, frontal part 

 a little convex, the clypeus and anterior frontal part are moderately 

 closely punctate, and the punctures are round, but in the vertex they 

 are somewhat remote ; prothorax simple, sparingly setulose, ampliate 

 rounded laterally, not sinuate towards the base and with the posterior 

 angle indistinct, base not marginate, the surface covered with small, 

 slightly elongated, equi-distant simple punctures separated by an 

 interval equal to their own size, no median supra-basal longitudinal 

 impression ; elytra ampliate, very narrowly punctulate striate, 

 intervals of equal width, and each with one series of briefly seti- 

 gerous punctures ; pygidium punctured ; abdomen and legs aciculate ; 

 metasternum covered with round, somewhat closely set punctures 

 median groove quite indistinct.

 British East Africa.

According to d'Orbigny, this species, which I have not seen, is 

 closely allied to C. Schcedlei, but differs from it in the punctures of 

 the prothorax, which are more closely set and broader all over. 



A new record of locality is that of Natal.

 Ann. Soc. Ent. France, lxxii., 1902, p. 10. 



Small, shiny black, with the head and prothorax either greenish 

 or slightly aeneous, elytra with the apex and sometimes the sides 

 reddish, occasionally also, but rarely, the anterior angles of the 

 prothorax are of the same colour ; the upper side is briefly pubescent. 

 Head moderately densely and finely punctate, the punctures sparsely 

 intermixed with larger ones ; it is not carinate on the $ , but has on 

 the 2 an arcuate carina set at a short distance from the clypeal 

 margin which is incised in the centre with the sides of the incision 

 dentate reflexed; prothorax simple, closely and somewhat deeply 

 punctate, the punctures simple and separated by an interval not 

 equal to their diameter ; it is simple, the base cannot be said to be 

 marginate, the posterior angles are not distinct, and the sides not 

 sinuate behind; elytra moderately deeply, but narrowly striate, 

 intervals with one series each of sub-scabrose briefly setigerous 

 punctures, on the sides the striae are distinctly punctate, but much 

 less so in the dorsal part ; pygidium strongly punctate. 



Length 2J-3 mm. ; width 2| mm.
