Note 1. The dark part of the prothorax of the tvpe is 

 possibly due to staining. 



Note 2. On some males the sides of the prothorax have 

 infuscated spots. 



Note 3. The shoulders are not always conspicuously pale. 



Note 4. The elytra of the type, from above, appear to 

 be entirely dark. 



Three species at present standing in Carphurus may 

 eventually be transferred to Helcoc/aster; if so, their positions 

 would be as follows : — C. atronitem in a, C. basipennis and 

 C. fasciipennis in d.
