oblique. The elytra are equally smooth, sometimes only the sutural stria is visible, ancl in 
all examples this stria is the only one sharply impressed, most so towards the apex. 
Sab . — Between Yangi Hissar and Sirikol. One example, much the most feebly striated,

C. andrese ( Menetr .) afflnis ; at gracilior, oeulis minus prominulis, elytrisque fusco-casta - 
nets, flavomarginatis. Gracilis , glaberrima, castaneo-rufa, abdominis margine picescenti, 
capite obscuriori, partibus oris, antennis, pedibus, elytrorumque margine fulvo-testaceis : capite 
angusto , sparsim punctulaio : thorace capite hand laliori, anguste cordato lateribus postice 
leviter sinuatis angulis posticis fere rotundatis, sparsissime punctulato : elytris basin versus 
angustatis, burner is rotundatis , subpunctulato-striatis, interstitiis sparsim punctulatis : palpis 
labialibus apice modice dilatatis, triangularibus.

Allied to C. andrece. Upper surface naked and shining, labial palpi moderately dilated, 
triangular. Eyes scarcely prominent, and punctuation of the whole upper surface very sparse 
and minute. General colour castaneous, but tbe thorax redder and the head slightly darker, 
the margins of the elytra (extending to the 8th striae) are pale testaceous-fulvus, the ante- 
nnae, legs, and parts of the mouth being of a similar hue. 
The species seems to be closely allied to O. pallidula (Chaudoir) from Lenkoran ; but in 
that species the elytra are not wider at the base than the base of the thorax; in C. glabrella 
they are (taken together) nearly double the width. 
Sab. — Ladak.

Sab. — Pamir ; between Sirikol and Panga : also the Pangong Valley and between Dras 
and Leh. By the Russian entomologists recorded as from the Tarbagatai Range. The elytral 
interstices are of equal breadth and punctured each in more than one row. The Pangong 
specimens are generally more shining in colour and with more convex and more strongly 
punctured elytral interstices ; ?=rufpes, Gebler.

Sab. — Between Dras and Leh ; one example agreeing with the description given of the 
elytra by Baron Chaudoir, 1. c., viz., alternate interstices narrower and with one row only of 
punctures.
