Allied to C. notatipes and C. suhvitrea Karsch from West Africa, but 

 differing in the greater size, the deeper lateral lobes of the pronotum, 

 the smaller eye, the differently shaped tegmen and the lesser number of 

 transverse veins in the same. From C. borneensis Brunner it is readily 

 separated by the presence of a; longitudinal spurious vein in the anal 

 field of the tegmen, and in the strongly spined and but slightly ciliate 

 femora. 



Size moderately large; form generally compressed. Head broad, 

 somewhat flattened cephalad; occiput not elevated, straight, rounded

transversely; fastigium produced, extending slightly beyond the 

 antenna! scrobes, acute, moderately sulcate distad; eyes rather small, 

 exserted and quite prominent, subglobose; antennae with the margins 

 of the scrobes touching mesad, first joint large, subcylindrical, joints 

 beyond the second poorly defined, in an incomplete condition extending 

 to the distal third of the tegmen. Pronotum some- 

 what saddle-shaped, the lateral lobes moderately 

 flaring ventrad, surface with a number of blunt tu- 

 bercles; cephalic margin obtuse-angulate with the 

 immediate angle truncate, caudal margin arcuate 

 with a slight median emargination ; longitudinal 

 median sulcus distinct, precurrent, bearipg in its de- 

 pression a blunt median carina on the prozona 

 (proper) and metazona, on the latter becoming more 

 conspicuous caudad by the shallower character of 

 the sulcus ; median sulcus flanked through nearly its entire length by a 

 pair of series of rather irregularly placed tubercles ; sulci separating the 

 prozona, mesozona_and metazona very distinct and deep, the meso-
