of the mesosternum pubescent ; the episterna of the nietasternum 

 have a few short hairs at the sides, those of the prosternum and 

 the gen as are bare. 

 Length 15 millim. 



It is doubtful whether this variety has been found in our region ; 

 the records from Burma apply to Schmidt-Goebel's species which 

 is quite distinct. There is a specimen in the Calcutta Museum, 

 from Pegu, labelled interrupto-fasciata, Schm.-Goeb., which is not 

 Schinidt-Goebel's species but exactly answers to this variety in 

 markings ; it has, however, red trochanters and distinct setae at 

 the sides of the pronotum. The above description is from the 

 type-specimen from Lukhon, Siatn, kindly lent me by Dr. Horn ; 

 it has also occurred in Cochin China and China proper. 



Var. goebeli, W. Horn. 



This variety must not be confused with C, tritoma, Schm.- 

 Goeb., the latter being a much smaller and narrower insect, with 

 much more pubescence on the underside ; the elytral markings 

 are, indeed, similar, but rather more pronounced. The following 

 description is taken mostly from a typical specimen given by 

 Gestro to Dr. AV. Horn :— 



A large and robust insect, of about the same size as the typical 

 C. mouhoii, but a little narrower ; labrum testaceous, broadly 

 margined with black ; head large, with a broad fiat and only 

 slightly excavate space between the not very prominent eyes, 

 finely striated in front and extremely finely rugose behind, black, 

 metallic at the sides ; pronotum black, cyaneous and slightly 

 violaceous at the sides, widest in front and very gradually narrowed 

 to the base, with the depressions marked and slightly metallic ; 

 central line very line, the whole upper surface extremely finely 

 rugose ; elytra dull velvety black, without metallic sides, scarcely 

 visibly sculptured, rounded at apex, with the sutural apical angle 

 not produced into a spine ; at the shoulders there is a yellow hook- 

 shaped patch, the hook being produced for a short way down the 

 margins, and the other portion forming a broad longitudinal 

 sinuate and irregular stripe, which extends for about one-third of 

 the length of the elytra and is widened at its apex ; just behind 

 the middle there is a large nearly round spot, and a round spot of: 

 the same size before the apex; legs coppery and cyaneous, tro- 

 chanters red ; underside green-blue and cyaneous, with the coxoe 

 and disc of the metasternum pubescent, and all the rest bare. 



Length 17 millim.
