Metastemv/m with a deepfurrow starting from near the coxae of the intermediate legsand touching the coxae of the posterior ones. .1 hdomeni dorsalsurface with a few small punctures arranged in transverserows, ventral surface impunctate, the third segment largewith very small and shallow round foveae. Legs long andmoderately thin, the anterior tibiae strongly curved, the inter-mediate slightly curved, and the posterior ones almoststraight, all are dilated towards the apex.

Differs in the antennae being shorter and thinner,the eighth to tenth joints being much shorter, the apicalabout as long as the ninth and tenth combined, and muchwider, the eyes smaller; and the abdomen somewhat largerwith its ventral surface nonfoveate.

The four long apical joints of the male antennae associatethis species with C. longicornis, Lea, and C. rivularis, Lea,but it is readily distinguished from these and all other pre-viously described species by the strongly curved front tibiae,these being quite as strongly curved in the female as in themale.
