Very like C.funebris in general appearance, but larger, with 

 the pronotum narrower in proportion and less narrowed behind ; 

 the apex of the elytra is more truncate; the colour is obscure 

 coppery with the sides brighter ; the elytra have two velvety 

 patches as in C. funebris, and have each a minute white spot 

 before apex; the head is more strongly striated and the general 

 sculpture of the upper surface is stronger; the prosternura is more 

 deeply punctured, and there is more pubescence on the underside. 



Length 10-11^ millim.
