This new species agrees with C. glahratus in its convex form, 

 glossy surface, shape of pronotum and two subsuturai striae on 

 each elytron, but differs from it in the transverse ridge between 

 the eyes and in the middle of the disc of the elytra not being 

 striated, also in the elytra being gradually narrowed and not 

 with the sides parallel, giving a more obconical form to the insect. 



The type of C. glahratus in the Hopeian museum is from Gambia, 

 but there are two females from Port Natal in this museum with 

 the elytra somewhat more convex and more sulcated than in the type. 



From C. Brou it is abundantly distinct by its much more convex 

 form, larger prothorax, elytra not parallel nor subdepressed , much 

 more glabrous and in not having the disc of the elytra longitudi- 

 nally carinated nor sulcated.
