Closely allied to C. vittigera, from which it differs in having the 



cheeks without pubescence, the pro- 

 notum broader, and the middle band 

 of the elytra shortened in front and 

 behind and straighter ; the elytra 

 are less distinctly serrulate behind, 

 and the apex of the suture of the 

 elytra in the male is only slightly, in 

 the female moderately, retracted ; 

 the fourth joint of the antennae in the 

 male has two short setae at some 

 distance from one another, but is 

 not furnished with a pencil of hairs. 

 The forehead and the pronoturn are 

 coppery, and the elytra are velvety 

 black', except at the margins, with 

 fourteen larger or smaller white spots 

 and patches ; the episterna of the 

 presternum are densely clothed to- 

 wards the coxae with white bristles, 

 but elsewhere are bare ; the margins 

 of the abdomen and of the meta- 

 sternum, the episterna of the meta- 

 sternum, except in the centre, and

mesosternum (except at the sides) 

 are also clothed with white bristles.

Group 22. 



In this group the pronoturn is furnished with distinct seta? at 

 the sides, but they do not encroach upon the disc; the genae in 

 quite fresh specimens are distinctly setose at the base, but the 

 setae are very fugitive and are very often entirely wanting ; the 

 sides of the abdomen, except at the apex, are clothed with 

 thick pubescence, and the episterna are mostly bare.
