to C. sharpi, Fvl. 
Head a little longer than broad, a little broader than the thorax, 
not so broad as the elytra; temples long, slightly convergent 
posteriorly to the rounded posterior angles; puncturation rather 
coarse, close and umbilicate, except on the front which is finely 
wrinkled. Antennae long, the Ist joint equal in length to the four 
following together, 2nd shorter than 3rd, 4th as long as 2nd, 5th to 
10th all longer than broad, gradually decreasing in length, 11th oval, 
pointed, as long as 10th. Thorax nearly cylindrical viewed from 
above, a little longer than broad, slightly narrowed posteriorly, 
anterior angles rectangular, posterior rounded; disc with smooth 
longitudinal median line throughout the whole length; puncturation 
coarse and umbilicate, less dense than on the head. Scutellum 
smooth, shining. Hlytra a third longer than the thorax with much 
finer puncturation, close and subrugose in character; pubescence 
fuscous, moderately dense. Abdomen finely and closely punctured 
throughout, rather densely covered with a fuscous pubescence.
