Females, 12.8 x 4.9–16.3 x 6.3 mm . Description. Colour: Head, antennae, pronotum, ventral surface and legs bronze. Elytra yellow with the following black markings: narrow basal margin; pre­medial fascia, ends projecting anteriorly not reaching margins, in some specimens reduced to a spot on each elytron; post­medial fascia reaching margin; pre­apical spade­shaped mark extending to apex, all marks connected along suture but not connected to scutellum. Shape & sculpture: Head heavily punctured, deep median sulcus, very short mouthparts. Antennomeres: 1–3 obconic; 4 half­triangular; 5–11 triangular. Pronotum closely punctured, anterior margin projecting slightly medially with prominent collar, basal margin bisinuate, basal notch glabrous without punctures closer to margin than middle, deep, round median fovea extending to anterior margin as impressed line, laterally parallel­sided at base, rounded out to widest part medially, rounded and narrowed to apex. Scutellum scutiform, indented posteriad to anterior margin, impunctate. Elytra punctate­striate, intervals markedly convex, laterally angled outward from base, rounded at humeral callus, concave, rounded post­medially and narrowed to unispinose apex, minute, acute sutural spine. Ventral surface shallowly punctured, edges of abdominal segments glabrous, setose, long setae. S7 rounded both sexes. Aedeagus: Parameres slightly angled outwards from basal piece, rounded after middle, parallel­sided to apex then flattened; penis pointed ( Fig. 1 a). Remarks. I mistakenly confused this species with C. turneri ( Barker) 1983 from NSW. The paratypes I designated of C. turneri were this species. The head, pronotum, ventral surface and legs of C. turneri are coppery and the male genitalia differ ( Fig.1 ). This species is a member of the C. convexa (Carter) species group. Distribution. Upper Eyre Peninsula South Australia and south­western New South Wales . Etymology. Named for Archie McArthur, Adelaide.
