Winged.—NQvy similar to C. tenui- rostris; of the same size and color, pu- bescence, and general structure. It differs in having the oceUi fulh* one- half their long diameter (about their short diameter) from the eyes. The pro- notum is a trifle longer and more nar- rowed behind, and the sides evenly rounded into the rounded hind mar- gin. The wings are paler in color than in 0. tenuirostris. (Fig. 58, 1.) C. strenuus Hagen from Vera Cruz, Mexico, is a very similar species, but the ocelli are very much smaller and still farther from the eyes
