In form this species is narrow, with remarkably elongate elytra. The undersurface is 
constantly chestnut-red, together with the epipleurae of the elytra and prosternum, the legs, 
antennae, parts of the month, epistome, and narrow lateral rims of the elytra and thorax. 
The rest of the upper surface is dark, brassy-olivaceous. The thorax is of the same width 
anteriorly as the elytra, but is much narrowed near the base, nearly as in C. fodince, but the 
hind angles do not at all project. The elytral interstices are plane ; the punctuation of the 
strise is strongest in the striae nearest the suture, and the edges of the interstices are there 
crenulated ; it disappears towards the apex and becomes very faint towards the sides.

Of the flattened form of Id. an dr ere, JB. femoratum, and allies ; elytra scarcely so elongated 
and rather more ovate than in B. andrece. Elytral striae sometimes scarcely impressed, the 
exterior ones much fainter but visible, all punctate and interstices plane or slightly convex. 
The apical joints of the antennae and penultimate joint of the maxillary palpi are faint ashv- 
brown. The dusky cruciform mark on the elytra is very variable and is never very dark or 
clearly defined. As in the allied species, the sutural border is dilated where the transverse 
fascia joins it. When the lateral margins are dusky, the colour only covers the marginal 
interstice.

_ Distinguished from all the species of the group known to me bv the form of the thorax. 
Tins member is moderately elongate and subquadrate, widest near its anterior an-les where 
its sides are gently rounded, and after this narrowing moderately to its hind angles- but the 
lateral margin near these latter becomes flattened-out and reflexed, and the aa-le itself
