Legend | L1 | length from clypeus/frons to elytral apex (mean, range, sample size) |
L2 | length from anterior of edge of eyes to elytral apex | |
W | maximum width with elytra fully closed |
Pronotum and elytra with strong (green-)blue or violet reflections.
Superficially similar to C. decemmaculata and differing most obviously in colour, although there are subtle differences in body shape; the pair of basal lacunae on the elytra tend to be larger and more elongate than in C. decemmaculata.
