Eleutiaux says that the female has a broader labrum with a 

 black border in front, but in the only female I have seen the 

 labrum is entirely whitish testaceous. The species appears to be 

 most closely allied to the European species C. trisignata. 



" This species occurs not uncommonly on the sand dunes of the 

 Orissa coast, but not on the sea-shore, which is monopolized by 

 C. hiramosa to the exclusion of all other species. C. agnata is 

 found in most localities, together with C. cancellata" (Annandale.)
