About the size of C. bechuanense, but more slender. Fastigium of vertex strongly compressed (though less so than in Megalotheca spp.) ; seen from the front, its margins are slightly divergent upwards and the apex rounded ; seen in profile the fastigium is somewhat ascending anteriorly, with the apex acutely angulate, but the im- mediate angle is rounded. Pronotum cylindrical, truncate in front, broadly and shallowly emarginate behind ; disc with one fine trans- verse furrow placed well in front of the middle ; lateral lobes (fig. 9, p) much longer than deep, their lower margin behind the middle roundly excised and strongly ascendent, hind margin straight. Elytra a little shorter than the pronotum. Knee-lobes spined. Last tergite transverse, hind margin obtusely angulate produced, with the sides somewhat sinuate. Cercus (fig. 9, c) consists of a broad conchate basal part, bearing on the concave inner side a chitinous.
