obscure fusco-nigricans, grosse punctatus, punctis luteo-setosis; capite magno, semicirculari, summo 

 grosse punctato, antice obsoletius, margine valde reflexo, vertice transversim bituberculato ; prothorace 

 elytris band angustiore, margine postice utrinque valde emarginato, angulis subacutis, punctis 

 grossis parum dense impresso, ad latera densius, postice rarius et obsolete longitudinaliter impresso; 

 scutello lsevi, elytris grosse punctato linearis, intervallis leviter elevatis, seriatim breviter setulosis ; 

 pygidio grosse sat dense punctato; tarsis sat gracilibus. — Swan-Eiver. Peak-Downs. (M. G-.) 



19. C. grossipes. Long. 16 mm. Oblongo-subelongatus, magis convexus , parallelus, nigro-fuscus, nitidus,

 margine valde reflexo, vertice bituberculato, utrinque linea tenui elevata; prothorace elytris band 

 angustiore subquadrato, lateribus arcuato et sat late marginato, margine postico utrinque leviter 

 sinuato, angulis vix prominulis, laxe punctulato, medio obsolete canaliculato; scutello tenuiter 

 punctato; elj^tris oblongis, punctato-substriatis, punctis sat mediocribus, intervallis subplanis, alternatim 

 leviter convexiusculis; pygidio convexo, punctis elevatis minusculis laxe sparsuto; tarsis crassis, fere 

 cjdindiicis. — Cleveland-Bay. (Coli. Mniszech). 



Cette espece est plus ötroite, plus convexe et bien plus finement ponctuöe que la precedente 

 dont eile differe aussi par la sculpture du pygidium et la conformation des tarses; enfln le menton 

 qui se proionge en une lame anguleuse chez le caviceps, est ici arrondi ä Textremite. 



C. subcostakis M. Leay, Trans. Ent. IST. S. Wales, 1873, 201. Long. 18 mm. Brownish black, subnitid,

 and slightly dehiscent, with the suture and three tolerably distinct lines on each elytron elevated 

 and thinly punctate, with the intervals occupied by three irregulär rows of oval variolous impressions,
