Very similar to C. perscillus, but rather narrower, clothed with ochreous narrow scales. Prothorax scarcely wider than long, sides obliquely rounded, feebly constricted at tip; disc densely punctured; scales hair-like, directed transversely, dorsal line obsolete. Elytra scarcely wider than the prothorax, gradually narrowed from the humeri, tips conjointly rounded, striae deep and wide, interspaces flat, densely punctured. Beneath covered with oval scales; antennae and legs brown; prosternum as wide between the coxae as in C. perscillus, emarginate in front of the mesosternum; side pieces of metasternum wide; fifth ventral scarcely longer than the fourth. Beak long, slender, curved, shining and sparsely pubescent, distinctly punctured; second joint of funicle nearly as long as the first.
Length 2.5 mm.; 0.10 inch. The prosternum is broadly but less deeply impressed; in the ♂ the horns are very short; in the ♀ the prosternum is flattened, but not concave. Louisiana and Kansas, four specimens. |
