elytral interstices are a trifle more strongly punctulate, but I can 

 find no other distinction whatevei*.

Compared with C. ciipripennis, Hope, this species is narrower 

 and more parallel, its antennse less thickened towards the apex, 

 and having the third joint proportionally a little shorter, the 

 prothorax less transverse, more strongly punctured and brightly 

 coloured, the elytral seriate punctures a little stronger and not 

 quite so closely placed (appearing very much more distinct owing 

 to the interstices being almost Isevigate), the eyes not quite so 

 remote, no Isevigate space between the eyes on the front part of 

 the forehead, the vertex (in the typical example) with a short 

 distinct Isevigate sulcus, &c.
