Black with the head and prothorax shining and hairless, the former 

 long, faintly and irregularly punctured, the latter a little longer than 

 the head, narrow, with the median outersides slightly ampliated, deeply 

 and broadly punctured, with a narrow longitudinal groove in the centre 

 and two deep, long impressions on either side posteriorly ; elytra a 

 little broader than the prothorax at the base, narrowed apically, some- 

 what convex, covered with a short black tomentum, deeply striated 

 with the striae forming strong punctate costae ; on each elytron a 

 whitish band on the seventh interval from the suture running from the 

 base to the centre and a sub-triangular patch of the same colonr placed 

 between the fourth and seventh interval at the supra-apical declivity ; 

 underside and legs black. A very close examination shows a faint 

 elongated whitish dot placed on the fifth interval at about the middle 

 of the disk of each elytron.

Allied to C. insignis. Chaud. the prothorax is of the same shape 

 although the lateral sides are slightly more curved, the elytra are much 

 less pubescent and the postical spots instead of forming one broad 

 plaga as in insignis, extending on each side from the third to the 

 ■eventh costa, are disconnected and consist of a very short line placed 

 o* the third costa and of another twice as long as the first on the 

 sixth, neither of which invades the interstices.
