Prominent dense patch of long pale whitish-gold hairs visible in lateral view below the upper elytral margin on the metepimeron; pronotum much narrower than elytra, with sides rounded, and weak to moderate development of transverse striae medially; elytral foveae well developed but not as large and circular as in C. mastersii and C. sp. Wide pronotum; apices of elytra terminated by an enlarged tooth; ventral side with (greenish-)gold reflections.
This species is likely to be more widespread in SA than the plotted records indicate.
| Legend | records | count of breeding adults, pupae and larvae |
| sites | count of major sites (unique 10 km grid cells +/- some distinct approximate localities) |
| adult | live = extracted alive; dead = extracted dead as intact or fragmentary remains; ex billet = reared and emerged from stored sections of host; ex pupa = reared from sampled pupa |
| pupa | extracted pupa; pupa ex larva = reared pupa from larva |
| larva | extracted larva (any stage including prepupa) |
| gall (only) | hatched or unhatched gall identified by form and position rather than contents |

I reared a single C. perroni from billets cut from fallen branches of Grey Box Eucalyptus microcarpa in Adelaide (= PL3131, illustrated here under 'Adult images'). Nearby I had previously extracted dead remains of an individual that was stuck in its exit hole in a dead fallen branch of River Red Gum Eucalyptus camaldulensis ssp. camaldulensis (= PL0656, illustrated here under 'Breeding record images').
