This is a remarkably handsome species. Its color is black, 
with the club of the antennz and legs reddish; on either side, 
on both the upper and under surface, there is a vitta of dense 
scarlet squamosity. The vitte of the upper surface commence at 
the front margin of the prothorax, and terminate close to the 
apex, but are interrupted by the elytral spines and again near 
the apex, so that the extreme apical portion forms a small spot, 
separated from the vitta by a narrow interval. The vitte of the 
under surface commence on the front of the prosternum, and are 
continuous to the apex of the second ventral segment, where they 
terminate. The mesosternal process is also clothed with scarlet 
squamosity. The elytral spines are very long (about as long as 
the distance from their base to the base of the elytra). The 
great length of the antennal club is probably a sexual character 
of the male.

C. turcipennis, Bohem. I have lately received from Mr. 
Cowell an example taken near Cairns of this widely distributed 
species. No species of the genus has previously been recorded 
as found in Australia ; the capture is, therefore, of considerable 
interest.
