^ees precisely in form and sculpture with C. polygona, differing only in the 
eve of the large black spot or fascia at the apex of the elytra. The whole 
ly nd limbs are of a testaceous-red hue, glossy on the impunctate head and 
r,, and the elytra are deeply striated, with fine punctures in the striae and 
J:, alutaceous, but shining interstices ; the flattened lateral margins are testa- 
nl^ellow, and the ninth interstice, as in C. polygona,iB black from the shoulder 
a\v the apex ; the second yellow belt occupies the apical fourth of the elytra, 
I i broadest on the 3rd and 5th interstices ; the belt nearer the base is broadest 
t» 3rd, 4th, and 7th interstices,

Lllied to Goy>t. Ufasciata, Putzeys, but differs apparently in the much deeper 
tfe of the elytra, on which the punctures are only perceptible by the aid of a 
irful lens. The general colour is testaceous-yellow, brown on the flanks of the 
ria, and glossed with metallic lustre on the upper- surface, the metallic colour 
I g more vivid on brown patches on the crown and on the disc of the thorax. 
' thorax is quadrate, much broader than long, and moderately rounded on the 
Is anteriorly, with the hind angles not prominent, and the base Una nearly 
ight. Scutellum yellow. The elytra have three coppery- or brassy -brown belts, 
; two pale ones, and the flattened lateral margins are also pale : the pale belts 
i divided into elongate lines by the brown colour of the striae, the first belt being 
srrupted at the sutural interstice has only seven of these lines, and the sub-apical 
b eight, the ninth interstice being brown throughout ; the lines on the interstices 
bd 6—8 of the first belt are nearly half the length of elytra. The truncature of 
elytra is strongly sinuated. The antennal joints are long and cylindrical. 
Common at Ega, under the bark of dead trees.
