It is probable that this species is only the female of C. cingusto- 
marginatus, Jac., as I cannot find structural differences ; but 
without more specimens for comparison it is impossible to be 
certain : the present insect, however, is larger, only the extreme 
elytral margins are black and the tarsi are fulvous.

Beneath flavous, above bright fulvous ; thorax with two black 
spots on anterior margin and a black edging to the posterior 
margin. Elytra : two spots at base and one behind the middle 
black edged with brown, also each elytron black at base and black 
at base of its epipleuron. 
Head rather strongly longitudinally grooved at vertex and 
studded with some fine punctures ; clypeus more finely punctured ; 
antennae fulvous, extending below middle of elytra in male, third 
joint one and a half times longer than the second and subequal to 
the fourth joint. Thorax subglobular anteriorly, nearly twice as 
broad as long, impunctate, very shining, the spots subtriangular. 
Hcutellum smooth, margined with black. Elytra slightly narrowed 
posteriorly, punctate-striate, the puncturation partly obsolete at 
apex, interstices with a row of very fine punctures, sides impressed ; 
scutellar region raised, bright fulvous ; the spots near scutellum 
and on the shoulders rounded, the posterior spot transverse in 
shape, placed near suture. Beneath punctured, finely pubescent ; 
metasternum reddish ; anterior margin of prosternum raised and 
angulate. — $ . Larger, antennae shorter.

The transverse elytral bands in this species may be dark red or 
more or less black or black with reddish edges. The type of 
C. nagpurensis , Duv., which I was enabled to examine, differs in 
no way from the form described by Suffrian in which the thoracic 
spots are absent.

“ Obscure fulvous ; thorax with four obscure brownish spots ; 
elytra with five black spots (2.2. 1). 
“ Head with feeble central groove ; clypeus not separated, 
closely punctured ; antennae with the third joint twice, the fourth 
three times as long as the second, terminal joints moderately
