The anterior margin orthe clypeus is exactly as in C. austnd- 

 asice, emarginate with the wings not divided from the median 

 part; the prosternum is exactly as in C. austi-alasice. Apart from 

 its smaller size, and the form of the clypeus and anterior tibi?e, 

 this species seems to present a remarkable I'esemblance to C. 

 attrata, Putz.
