Hob. Peru. 



The single flavous lateral stripe separates this species from 

 most others placed in this genxis, from which it further differs in 

 the non-dentate claws ; C. patricia Erichs. is, however, of similar 

 coloration, but dull black, opaque, and with scarcely perceptible 

 elytral punctation.

Black, the thorax closely and strongly punctured ; elytra 

 opaque, finely punctate-striate, the third and the last interstice, 

 as well as the basal margin, golden yellow, the marginal band 

 with a row of dark punctures.
