  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  

   •golden

  ; 
  the 
  spurs 
  black. 
  The 
  basal 
  segment 
  

   closely 
  and 
  rather 
  strongly 
  punctured, 
  margined 
  with 
  

   silvery 
  white 
  pubescence 
  ; 
  the

  furrow 
  on 
  the 
  

   second 
  and 
  third 
  segments 
  rugose 
  ; 
  the

  segment 
  

   above 
  closely 
  punctured, 
  keeled 
  down 
  the 
  centre 
  ; 
  the 
  

   keel 
  indistinct 
  at

  Comes 
  near 
  to 
  C. 
  fnscipcnnis, 
  but 
  that 
  species 
  wants 
  

   the 
  white 
  marks 
  on 
  the 
  mesonotum, 
  which 
  has 
  also 
  the 
  

   punctures 
  more 
  distinctly 
  separated, 
  this 
  being 
  especially 
  

   noticeable 
  on 
  the 
  scutellum, 
  where 
  they 
  are 
  round 
  and 
  

   deep, 
  and 
  not, 
  or 
  hardly, 
  touching 
  each 
  other, 
  whereas 
  in 
  

   C. 
  sexmacuhita 
  they 
  are 
  much 
  coarser 
  and 
  closer, 
  forming 
  

   a 
  rugose 
  surface.
