median part and produced thence right to the outer margin into a much 
narrower transverse band. 
This species, of which I saw only two partly mutilated examples, 
would seem to be very distinct from C. horana, although found in the 
same locality.

Black, clothed with a short, black pubescence turning to sub-flavescent 
on the prothorax ; antennae black ; head and prothorax covered with sub- 
contiguous, somewhat deep, round punctures ; elytra with the yellow part 
closely and evenly punctulate, the black part shagreened aciculate, the red 
part more roughly punctate than the yellow ; on each side the broad 
basal dorsal patch is connected along the suture with the anterior trans- 
verse band which is narrow, slightly scooped in the anterior edge, and 
expands along the outer margin where it becomes one with the lateral 
dorsal patch, thus forming a marginal band ; the posterior band is greatly 
constricted in the median part and narrowed thence to the outer margin 
where it is continued as a red band coalescing with the posterior part, 
which is wholly blood-red except for a narrow, apical black border. 
Length 11 mm. ; width 4 mm.

Black, clothed with a flavescent pubescence with admixed fuscous 
hairs on the head and prothorax ; antennae rufous flavous with the two 
basal joints black, the intermediate joints from the sixth to the seventh are 
so sharply acuminate inwardly at apex as to be almost sub-flabellate ; 
head and prothorax covered with deep, but small, nearly contiguous 
punctures, in the former there is no visible frontal patch, in the latter the 
central, discoidal impression reaches from the centre to the base ; elytra 
elongated, the orange-red dorsal bands are very closely punctate, and the 
punctures on the black background are as closely punctate but slightly
