Butler thus describes this species : — " Closely allied to C. dorsi- 

 macula, but differs in its usually smaller size, narrower thorax, 

 duller and more uniform colouring and much smaller and more 

 regularly uniform black spots." 



The colour of the tegmina and body is ochraceous, not testaceous- 

 red ; the seventh subapical black spot to tegmina is frequently 

 obliterated and so also are sometimes the two posterior spots to 

 the pronotum. It is of doubtful specific value and may prove 

 to be but a colour variety of C. dorsimacula.
