clypeus anteriorly transverse, slightly convex in the middle : 

 antennae short and thick, rather flattened and twisted and bearing 

 a slight resemblance to the antenna? as in the genus Plcurocera, 

 occiput slightly convex. Thorax : pronotum transversely rect- 

 angular, cubical,, the sides parallel, the anterior lateral margins 

 ,cute, prominent, the front above widely einargiuate and bevelled : 

 propleurae excavate ; mesonotum and scutellum gently convex ; 

 mesopleurae very rugose, obtuse beneath, transverse, foveolate ; 

 postscutellum very convex, gibbous, entirely overlying the median 

 segment, the posterior lateral angles of which are very broadly 

 produced, flat, with the apex somewhat obtuse ; wings very dark 

 brown with a purple effulgence in certain lights, the venation 

 normal, the radial cell of fore wing complete, nervures dark brown, 

 tegute dark blue. Abdomen broad and massive, somewhat as in 

 C. principalis, C. oculata, &c., the base slightly concave, the medial 

 longitudinal carina on the 2nd segment absent or very indistinct : 

 the sides of the abdomen convergent posteriorly, the 3rd segment 

 transversely incrassate in front of the anteapical series, the fovea> 

 small, round but distinct, the apical margin armed with 5 teeth, 

 the outer two on each side spinoid. acute, the middle tooth broad, 

 triangular, obtuse.
