 bifidis, dente medio supero, partibus apicalibus gracilibus, spiniformibus, 

 interna breviori, ante apicem sublatiori.

 magno, transverso, fissura transversa lata, profunda, antice bitubercu- 

 lata.

This species is very similar to C. virilis Hag., but smaller, the thorax 

 nearly cylindrical, more flattened above ; the rostrum is smaller, deeply 

 sulcated, with the margins thickened and laterally not so sharply rec- 

 tangular, but more oblique ; the three apical teeth are more developed ; 

 the antennal lamina is smaller, the hands throughout are punctated and 

 more flattened, the spines of the carpus and brachium obtuse ; the or- 

 dinarily biseriated spines beneath are not at all developed, except the 

 two anterior.
