Hab.: N. S. Wales (Entomological Society of Berlin), Tweed 

 River (Hamburg Museum). 



A large reddish species with a V as in C. stigma and V- albus, but 

 othenvise very different. On two specimens the antennse and prothorax 

 are rather darker than the rest of the denn, the knees are usually 

 slightly stained with brown. The prothorax appears to have a vague 

 dark line (solely due to the clothing being rather sparser there than 

 elsewhere) towards each side, and immediately beyond this line a rather 

 dense stripe of scales. The V on the elytra is conspicuous and extends 

 from the suture to the fifth interstice, the derm before it, and to a 

 certain extent immediately behind it, is rather sparsely clothed. The 

 elytra are unusually large in proportion to the prothorax.
