Belongs to a small group of species remarkable for their pro- 

 thorax being wider in front than is usual in the genus, with the 

 front angles prominent and well developed. Among the species 

 of that group the present insect is distinguished by the following 

 characters in combination :— prothorax having its lateral carin?e 

 (viewed from the side) nearly straight, interval between the eyes 

 little more than half as wide as in C. cupripennis, elytra not 

 striate, their interstices quite flat and very distinctly punctured, 

 the punctures in the elytral series not very closely placed 

 (distinctly less closely than in C. cujrripennis). The outline 

 curve of the elytra is as in C. vividus ; the seriate punctures of 

 the elytra are much finer than in that species.
