Black ; basal four joints of antennas fulvous ; elytra with a 

 transverse narrowly divided spot at base and another near apex 

 fulvous. 



Head strongly and closely punctured, longitudinally strigose on 

 the vertex ; eyes with a sunken 

 orbit ; palpi pale fulvous ; an- 

 tennas black on the terminal 

 joints, which are gradually and 

 broadly dilated. Thorax half as 

 broad again as long, sides with 

 reflexed margins, strongly dentate 

 in the middle, disc strongly and 

 closely punctured. Elytra much 

 wider at base than the thorax, 

 subquadrate-ovate, basal portion 

 swollen, rest of surface strongly 

 punctate-striate, punctures at the 

 sides rather more confused ; the 

 fulvous basal patch subdivided 

 within the shoulders by a single 

 row of punctures, otherwise im- 

 puuctate, the patch does not 

 extend to the basal margin but laterally to as far as the second 

 row of punctures, and longitudinally for about one-fifth the length 

 of elytra ; posterior spot subquadrate, rather small, placed near 

 the apex. Femora strongly incrassate and dentate. 

 Length mm.

Much more strongly punctured than C. balyi, the fulvous 

 elytral spots of different shape and the anterior one subdivided, 

 the thorax strongly dentate.
