Dr. Horn (D. E. Z. 1898, p. 273) believes that C. caviceps,Klug, is the male of 0. longicollis, but he says that he has notseen a trustworthy specimen of the male of the latter Fig. 100. Collyris longicollis. the species(Annotatedthe Indian 2. Collyris dohrni, Chaud. Collyris dohrni, Chaudoir, Bull. Soc. Moscou, 1860, ii, p. 286; Soc. Ent. France, 1864, p. 490. This species is a little larger than the average specimens of C. longi-collis and also differs from them in the black, somewhat opaquecolour, and the unspotted palpi and antennas, the latter havingthe first six joints dark blue ; the pronotum is more elongate,less deeply constricted before the base, with the intermediate Q 226 portion exactly conical, not abruptly narrowed in front, the uppersurface thickly and plainly striate ; elytra with the shouldersmore oblique, more strongly punctured at the apex, and with theinterstices very finely reticulate; femora obscurely red.
