Allied to C. nodicollis, Bourg., but differing from it, inter alia, 
by the markings of the elytra much more widely than my obser- 
Thus the black patch bears a rough resemblance to a hood 
thrown back over the elytra from their base. This marking seems 
constant. There are various details in which this insect departs 
otherwise from the description of C. nodicollis ; inter alia the 
interstices of its elytral coste are said to be rugose whereas in 
© present species they are excessively finely granulated,— 
scarcely more than coriaceous, and nodicollis is said “to a casual 
inspection to remarkably recall C. scutellaris, Er.,” whereas the 
present insect is a much more robust species of ehr 
wider form with very much longer antennx. e measurements 
of C. nodicollis make it fully three times as long as wide; 
the remarkable clypeal sexual characters of this spec me 
have the prothorax bicolorous (very remarkably so in C. Poesie 
a, and pilosicornis, Lea, in which the prothorax is said to be 
"yellow tinged with red," and those having a black posten 
(even if the clypeal sexual characters have mere over- 
looked in the descriptions, —
