the posterior angles obtusely angulate; anterior margin deeply, 
arcuately emarginate, with the median lobe broadly rounded, 
the anterior angles acute; base deeply bisinuate, with the 
broadly rounded median lobe truncate in front of scutellum; 
disk strongly convex and regularly rounded, with the sides widely 
depressed and densely clothed with long, recumbent, ochraceous 
hairs; rest of surface coarsely, deeply punctate, from each 
puncture arises a long, recumbent, black hair, which is scarcely 
visible, except from the side; lateral carina absent. Scutellum 
cordate, impunctate. Elytra about equal in width to pronotum, 
slightly convex, with a deep triangular depression along base 
near humerus, and another shallow' elongate one along suture, 
extending from apical fourth to the apex ; sides strongly sinuate 
in front of middle, strongly expanded at apical third, then at- 
tenuate to the tips, which are conjointly, broadly rounded ; lateral 
margin finely crenulate to about the middle, then strongly dentate 
to apex; surface scabrous-punctate, becoming smoother along 
suture on basal half, and with the pubescent areas finely, dense- 
ly punctate, sparsely clothed with short black curved hairs, 
which are scarcely visible, except when viewed from the side, 
and also marked with patches of densely placed, recumbent, 
ochraceous pubescence arranged as follows: Each elytron with 
a triangular basal area, filling the basal depression and continu- 
ing on a line with the pubescence on side of pronotum, a round 
spot on middle of disk at basal third, two similar ones along 
lateral margin, one at about the middle and the other midway 
between it and the apex, another round spot along suture at apical 
third, and an oblong spot near apex, reaching from lateral mar- 
gin obliquely forward to near the suture, but not quite reaching 
it. Abdomen beneath coarsely, densely punctate, with the sides 
densely clothed with long, recumbent, ochraceous pubescence. 
Legs of a darker bronze color than the abdomen; tarsi shining 
black. 
Length, 10 millimeters; width, 4. 
One specimen in the United States National Museum collection 
labeled “Lamao, Luzon, P. L, XII-VI, 1911, C. V. Piper, 
collector.” The species is named for the collector. 
This species is allied to C. cisseoides Saund., but differs from 
that species by having the triangular basal depression of elytron 
densely clothed with ochraceous pubescence and by having six 
distinct pubescent spots on each elytron, instead of five, as in 
cisseoides.
