( C. atripes.) Exp. al. 6-7J lin., long. corp. 3-4 lin. 



Black; base of mandibles, pleune, hind coxae, and sides of ab- 

 domen with yellow dots ; abdomen with a yellow triangle at the 

 base, segments 3 and 4 broadly, and 5 and 9 narrowly edged behind 

 with lemon-yellow ; legs testaceous ; femora and hind legs (except 

 the tibias beneath, which are testaceous) black. Wings hyaline, with 

 piceous nervures ; antennae slightly thickened towards the tip. 



(C. pusillus.) Exp. al. 5 lin., long. corp. 3 lin. 



Differs in its smaller size ; segments 4-6, or only 5 and 6, are 

 belted with yellow behind broadly, and 9 narrowly ; the abdominal 

 spots are wanting ; the antennae are testaceous beneath towards the 

 extremity, and the hind tibiae are testaceous, except at the tips. 



Although treating these forms as C. pygmceus, yet I have thought 

 it desirable to figure and briefly characterize them from original 

 Stephensian examples.
