Body very much depressed, thickly punctured with a hair issuing from each puncture; On the under-side black. . Head with a round impression between the eyes: prothorax pale-yellow with a subquadrangular sublobate black spot in the disk; Punctures of the prothorax very thick, those of the discoidal spot resembling scratches : elytra brown-b1ack, rather silky, with two longitudinal, undulated, obsolete ridges that do not reach the apex; their surface is covered with irregular elevations, and near the suture is a series of punctiform impressions; epipleura very wide with its horizontal portion resplendent with a lustre between bronze and gold, vertical part, or inner margin, yellow ; the suture of the elytla terminates in a minute point.

This spccies is extlemely similar to C. maxillosus, and its American representative. The following circumstances principally distinguish them. The anterior angles of the prothorax in C. maxillosus are thinly cloathed with shortish black hairs; in C. villosus, these hairs are cinereous, longer, mole numerous, and cover a larger portion of the angle; in the former, the band of the elytra is whiter and wider than in the latter; in the former also the back of the abdomen, especially the third and fourth segments, is mottled with cinereous hairs; in the latter the second and third have each a cinereous band interupted in the middle; again the four first ventral segments in C. maxillosus are thickly covered with decumbent cinereous hairs, with each a lateral black spot on both sides, while in C. villosus

It is believed by the authors, with supporting experimental evidence, that as little as 0.5°, or less, knife clearance angle may be a critical factor in obtaining optimum quality ultrathin sections. The degree increments located on the knife holder provides the investigator with only a crude approximation of the angle at which the holder is set. With the increments displayed on the holder one cannot set the clearance angle precisely and reproducibly. The ability to routinely set this angle precisely and without difficulty would obviously be of great assistance to the operator. A device has been contrived to aid the investigator in precisely setting the clearance angle. This device is relatively simple and is easily constructed. It consists of a light source and an optically flat, front surfaced mirror with a minute black spot in the center. The mirror is affixed to the knife by placing it permanently on top of the knife holder.
