double the length of second, following two more elongate, rest 
scarcely flattened, slightly darkened, basal joints flavous. Thorax 
entirely smooth and impunctate, posterior edge narrowly black. 
Scutellum also margined with black. Elytra of equal width, 
slightly raised round scutellum, epipleural lobes strongly marked, 
punctures regular, scarcely finer posteriorly, interstices flat, the 
outer slightly raised, impunctate, the sutural elougate mark 
extends at its narrowest part (before middle) to the second row of 
punctures, sending off a branch anteriorly to fourth row and 
another branch posteriorly to sixth row, nearly touching margin 
of lateral band, outer edge of sutural band rather obsolete.”

“ Black ; head, thorax, outer margins of elytra and legs reddish- 
fulvous ; thorax with two black spots. 
“ Head finely and very remotely punctured; antennse fulvous, 
terminal joint fuscous, second joint nearly as wide as third, 
following but slightly wider, sixth and terminal joints distinctly 
more widened. Thorax distinctly but finely and very remotely 
punctured, posterior margin serrate, black. Scutellum black, long 
and narrowly triangular, foveolate at base. Elytra depressed at 
base near scutellum, epipleural lobes short and rather obsolete ; 
surface distinctly punctate-striate, finer posteriorly, interstices 
finely transversely wrinkled, rather opaque from middle down- 
wards. Pygidium black, prosternum, inesosternum and legs ful- 
vous : anterior margin of prosternum scarcely produced, posterior 
angles short and blunt.” ( Suffrian .)

I have not seen any species entirely answering to Suffriau's 
description, who says that it differs from C. vahli , var. in 
coloration and puncturation — in which way, however, is not clear. 
In what I take to be a variety the entire elytra with the exception 
of the epipleural lobes beneath are black.

Black ; basal joints of antennse and legs fulvous, anterior and 
lateral margins of thorax flavous; elytra flavous, the base, con- 
nected with a sutural lozenge-shaped band black, abbreviated at 
apex.
