This species has somewhat the appearance of C. orbatus, hut has 

 the elytra more ample posteriorly, less bluntly rounded at the apex, 

 and the thorax is margined all round. The antennae are nearly as 

 long as the elytra, not very approximate at their base. Clypeus 

 gently emarginate. Intermediate coxae with a strong acute spine ; 

 the femur with a strong tooth near the base; the intermediate 

 and posterior tibiae strongly curved. The penultimate segment of 

 the abdomen is deeply notched in the middle.

Lycus (genus 4), Waterh., Trans. Ent. Soc, 1878, p. 97. 



Antennae short, compact, dentate, of equal width throughout ; the 

 third joint a trifle longer than broad, the fourth to tenth joints 

 transverse. Rostrum distinct but short. Thorax rather transverse, 

 quadrangular ; the disk smooth, the margins reflexed. Elytra 

 flattened, subparallel, with moderately distinct costae, the intervals 

 punctured.
