 with the sides bright cyaneous, with three yellow spots on each, 

 the first at the shoulders, elongate, the second about the middle, 

 aud the third at the apex ; underside cyaneous green, shining,

This species is closely allied to C. assamensis, from which it may 

 be known by its smaller size, longer pronotum and the elytral 

 spots ; the longer and narrower pronotum will separate it from 

 typical C. mouhoti. I have not seen the species, but I gather 

 from the description that the episterna of the metasternum are 

 pubescent.
