 thorax widest near posterior angles and greatly narrowed 

 anteriorly, posterior angles marked; prosternum wide between 

 the coxa?, the sides not ovei-hanging in front ; metasternal 

 episterna shorter and much wider than in C. australasicf, Bohem., 

 but longer than in C. ohlonga, Putz.; legs light, external spur 

 of intermediate tibise small and placed almost at apex, the tarsi 

 long, slender.
