It agrees mostly with the description of C. rudis ; but the latter is said 
to be very deeply punctured. It is closely allied to C. parentum, but in 
the latter there is a broad purple band on the hind part of ihe head, and 
the arrangement of the spots on the thorax and on the scutellum is very 
different.
