An ordinary looking species of rather dull aspect, but readily 



distinguishable fiom neax'ly all its congeners by the presence of 



well-defined ocular sulci in combination with a wide interval 



between the eyes. Placed beside C. cupripennis, Hope, the 



present insect is seen to be of much narrower and less robust 



form, with the interval between the eyes scarcely narrower, the 



prothorax much less transverse, and the seriate punctures of the 



elytra scarcely different, while the punctures of the interstices 



are evidently stronger. The outline curve of the elytra, viewed 



from the side, is moderately strong, and at its summit slightly 



behind the middle.
