This species resembles C. limosa in size and general appearance 

 and especially in having the sides of the elytra narrowly white 

 and the disc without any markings, but it is much more 

 shining and convex, and has the frontal striation more evident, 

 the pronotum much more rounded, the elytra more convex and 

 the whole of the upper surface shiny instead of dull ; the colour 

 is obscure greenish bronze, and the general appearance, when 

 viewed from above, is very like that of C. bellana var. nuda, Horn, 

 but the present insect is a much smaller one. Head with the 

 eyes large and prominent, the juxta- ocular striation being very 

 distinct, and the hinder part finely sculptured ; pronotum
