310 Descriptive Catalogue [1898. 



the three or four foveolae are shining, and the arrangement of the 

 macules, line, and spot is very different, and consists of a filiform 

 humeral flavous macula, a second one in the middle reaching almost 

 the margin, increased towards the posterior part and connected with 

 a marginal apical line, and having besides a very large central patch 

 of the same colour occupying nearly all the whole posterior discoidal 

 part. The median lateral macule is more approximate to the margin 

 than in C. furcata, the marginal apical band is similar, and at the 

 point of junction there is a small angle directed inwardly. The 

 antennae are missing. Female. Length 16 mm., labrum excluded. 



" Hab. Transvaal. 



" Differs much from the species included in the genus owing to the 

 large central macula being situated on each elytron at two-thirds 

 of the length from the base."

Loc. cit., p. 237. 



"A very large species. Head and prothorax nearly similar to 

 that of Myrmecoptera mashuna, Per., but the former is more finely 

 sculptured, and very finely granulated in front and behind, the latter 

 is wider near the apex, less obliquely, i.e., more transversely, rugoso- 

 striate, and the lateral basal tubercles are much more prominent ; 

 the labrum is a little longer and has a broad flavous line in the 

 centre ; elytra much longer than in C. sexmaculata, Chaud., less 

 convex, much less acuminate behind and broadly rotund and 

 truncate at the very apex, sutural spine a little longer, sculpture 

 deeper, quite reticulate, intervals very fine, foveolse much larger as 

 far as the median part, much denser behind ; there is on each side a 

 median triangular oblique macule, distant from the outer margin, 

 and a shorter apical one ; palpi flavous, the two ultimate ones 

 black ; legs much more robust, and body a little more shining 

 beneath. The rest as in C. sexmaculata Chaud. Female. Length 

 19 mm.
