along suture near apex; sides nearly parallel to apical third, 
then arcuately attenuate to tips, which are conjointly, broadly 
rounded; lateral margin finely crenulate anteriorly, becoming 
strongly dentate toward apex; surface strongly imbricate, be- 
coming scabrous toward apex, sparsely clothed with short, black, 
curved hairs, which are scarcely visible, except when viewed 
from the side, and also marked with broader cinereous hairs 
arranged as follows: Each elytron with three small spots 
at middle forming a triangle, a distinct transverse band at apical 
fourth, and a small spot near apex. Beneath coarsely imbricate, 
and sparsely clothed with short, recumbent, cinereous hairs. 
Length, 7.5 millimeters; width, 3. 
Described from one specimen from Baguio, Benguet, Luzon 
(Baker). 
This species is closely allied to C. melibaeiformis Saund., but 
differs from that species by being more elongate and having the 
elytra marked with transverse bands of cinereous pubescence.

Large, robust, moderately convex, resembling the genus Cis-
