2.0-2.2 mm (mean = 2.08 mm; n = 5), 2.86-3.38
x
as long as wide. This species is distinguished by the elytral apex attenuate and strongly emarginate, declivity convex, declivital interstriae 2 denticulate, elytral apex with interstriae 3 and 9 joining, forming a crenulate carina that continues submarginally to apex, declivital interstriae 3 with fewer than ten denticles, elytral apices acute, declivital striae not impressed, elytral apex crenulations large and coarse, declivital slope steep, occupying 50% of elytra. It is most similar to
C. inornatus
but has more elongate elytra 1.7-2.0
x
as long as wide vs. 1.6
