Face strongly and closely punctured ; the clypeus sparsely 
punctured round the top, the depressed centre smooth; the 
extreme apex of the clypeus black, its depressed centre 
smooth; both are covered with pale pubescence. Meso- 
notum closely punctured and thickly covered with short pale 
down. Scutellum thickly covered with long pale hair. 
Median segment closely and strongly punctured, the punc- 
tures running into strie. The areola large, slightly longer 
than broad, closely, irregularly, rugosely reticulated, the sides 
furrowed to shortly beyond the middle; the base is rounded 
backwards, as is also the apex; the posterior median area is 
closely, strongly, transversely striated, its base irregularly 
punctured. Pro- and mesopleure smooth and with a 
plumbeous hue; the metapleure closely and strongly punc- 
tured, more strongly on the apex than behind.

Comes near to C. nigripes, which is larger, has the face 
marked with a triangular black mark; the mesopleurz 
distinctly punctured all over, the areola not clearly longer 
than broad and not rugosely coarsely punctured, and the
