DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the large eyes, narrow vertex, discontinuous white markings on corium and clavus, not forming a complete transverse band or just a slender band (fig. 2), and endosoma with a triangular, membranous, serrate flange apically (fig. 4). Most similar to
C. pronotosus
in general appearance, large eyes, and narrow vertex, but differs in the shorter body, the transverse hemelytral fascia broken at the claval suture, and the distinctive endosomal characters.

Coloration (fig. 2): Head brown; labium brown; pronotum dark brown; mesoscutum and scutellum reddish brown, or dark orange; scent-gland auricle brown; clavus brown or orange brown basally, ivory medially, brown apically; corium and embolium brown or orange brown basally, ivory medially, brown apically; white marks on corium and clavus independent, marks not forming a complete transverse band or—when so—band more slender (fig. 2); lateral ivory spot on base of corium with straight apical margin (fig. 2); cuneus reddish brown; membrane fuscous; antennal segments brown or slightly yellowish, with first segment yellowish brown (fig. 2); venter brown; mesepisternum reddish brown; procoxa and trochanter brown, meso- and metacoxae ivory with trochanters ivory and brown apically; femora and tibiae dark orange or brown; tarsi yellowish (fig. 2). Surface and vestiture: Vertex bearing long erect setae; pronotum and corium with recumbent setae. Structure (fig. 2): Slender; pronotum trapezoidal; scutellum slightly swollen basally; corium with lateral margin slightly convex basally at level of brown coloration; labium reaching posterior third of mesepisternum. genitalia (fig. 4): Endosoma relatively short, slender, beyond secondary gonopore with a triangular, membranous, serrate flange apically (fig. 4); phallotheca slightly curved; left paramere with anterior process stout and short, posterior process elongate and curved downward; right paramere short and ovoid.
ETYMOLOGY: Named for the discontinuous transverse hemelytral fascia, from the Latin
fractus
, meaning “broken,” and
fasciatus
, meaning “enveloped with a band.”
