C. decoratiis Gerstaecker, and C. major Karny. The specific, name is 

 suggested by its very uniform and rather pale rufo-testaceous color. 

 While quite large, it is nevertheless moderately slender in its build, 

 has the tegmina and wings decidedly longer than the abdomen and 

 apex of the hind femora. The latter have their dorsal margin crossed 

 by two dull fuscous patches and especially with a fairly prominent 

 longitudinal stripe, which extends along the lower carina from the 

 inner edge of the pale pre-apical annulus half-way to the base, from 

 which point the greater portion of the inner face is infuscated; lower 

 outer sulcus brunneous, the lower inner one more or less tinged with 

 coral-red, genicular area strongly fuscous, all of the carinae minutely 

 nigro-punctate; hind tibiae dull cinereous, the base with a well-defined 

 paler annulus, the spines black on their outer half, ten in number on 

 the outer and eleven on the inner margin. Hind wings vitreous, with 

 dark veins and cross-veins, about twice as long as broad. Antennae 

 pallid, testaceous. Supra-anal plate elongate scutiform, the apex 

 rather acuminate; cerci moderately slender, bowed upwards and in- 

 wards, the apical portion a little dilated and obliquely docked from 

 below. Mesosternal lobes rather closely approaching, those of the 

 metasternum touching. 



Length of body, d^, 33 mm.; of pronotum, 7 mm.; tegmina, 27 mm.; 

 of hind femora, 17 mm. 



Habitat: Banza Manteka, Belgian Congo (A. L. Bain, Collector).
