Niger, elytris luride brunneis, lateribus, apicibus lunulaque ante- 
mediana nigris, maculaque utrinque juxta-scutellari late flava, 
capite et pronoto albo-setosis, hujus setis utringue in maculis 3

elongatus, oculis prominentissimis, clypeo subquadrato, antice 
haud fortiter bilobato ; pronoto quam longitudinem vix latiori, 
angulis anticis obsoletis, posticis valde obtusis, lateribus antice 
convergentibus, postice parallelis; scutello longo acuto; elytris 
brevibus, deplanatis, sat fortiter haud regulariter punctatis, 
costa humerali valida integra, postice angustatis, rotundatis ; 
pygidio sat lato, ruguloso; pedibus gracilibus : 
3, clava antennali longa, tibia antica breviter bidentata, postica 
apice unispinosa. 
Long. 12°5 mm.; lat. 6 mm. 
Nyasatanp: Mlange (S. A. Neave, October). 
A single male specimen. 
C. luridus is nearly related to C. transparens, but is larger 
and less elongate in shape, and the elytra, although slightly 
shining and translucent, have not the complete transparency 
so remarkable in the last species. The clypeus is rather less 
deeply cleft than in that insect, the pronotum has a row of 
four white spots placed in a transverse line across the middle, 
and two behind these, forming a pattern rather different and 
a little less sharply defined than in C. transparens or 
C. hollisi. The elytra are brown with a slight lustre and 
coarsely punctured, the whole reflexed part being black, as 
well as an antemedian bar crossing the suture and produced 
forwards, forming an irregular crescent. Immediately in 
front of this bar is a bright yellow patch on each side, as in 
C. transparens, but only slightly transparent. The pygidium 
bears a median stripe of white setze, broad at the base and 
tapering to the extremity, and the sides of the abdominal 
segments are decorated with white bars, as in all the 
allied species. In the bidentate front tibize of the male 
C. luridus differs conspicuously from both the allied forms.
