 obsolete ; anterior border produced into two very short obtuse

C. PhiUppinensis is similar in form to, but smaller than, C. 

 viridana (p. 146), and its thorax is more coarsely punctured ; from 

 C Rajfflesii, to which it is more nearly related in size, the coarser 

 punctuation of the thorax separates it.
