Diagnosis.
Recognized by the following combinations of characters: antennal segment II in males thicker than segment I (
Fig. 43
); pronotum black, tinged with red laterally (
Fig. 43
); outer margin of clavus with narrow, yellowish stripe along entire length (
Fig. 43
); endosomal sclerites: es1 straight, cylindrical, serrate at apical one fourth; es2 weakly arcuate, cylindrical, weakly broadened and serrate at apical one sixth; es3 and es4 longest, moderately broadened, sharply pointed; es3 with dextrolateral margin straight and sinistrolateral margin arcuate; es4 with dextrolateral margin arcuate, sinistrolateral margin sinuate (
Fig. 85
); left paramere when viewed dorsally with sensory lobe strongly developed (
Fig. 86
).
Most similar to
C. amazonicus
,
C. antennatus
,
C. marginicollis
, and
C. tucuruiensis
in sharing the thick antennal segment in males (
Figs 36, 38
,
43
,
55
,
56, 57, 59, 60
,
92
). It can, however, be distinguished by the shape of the male genitalia (
Figs 85–89
). With
C. tucuruiensis
in shares outer margin of clavus with yellow stripe along entire length. It can be easily distinguished by having yellow patch on corium (
Figs 43
,
54, 55
) and male genitalia (
Figs 85–89
,
140–144
).
Description.

Hemelytron
black; outer margin of clavus and inner margin of corium with yellow, narrow stripe along entire length; apical margin of corium and basal margin of cuneus yellow along entire length.
Legs
. Coxae black; remaining segments dark brown.
Abdomen
black.
Structure, texture and vestiture
(
Figs 43
,
59
). Dorsum covered with relatively long, semirecumbent and erect setae.
Head.
antennal segment II thicker than segment I, gradually becoming narrower toward apex.
Thorax
.
Pronotum
calli moderately developed.
Scutellum
moderately convex.
Male genitalia
(
Figs 85–89
).
Aedeagus
(
Fig. 85
). Endosoma with four sclerites (es1–es4): es1 straight, cylindrical, serrate at apical one fourth; es2 weakly arcuate, cylindrical, weakly broadened and serrate at apical one sixth; es3 and es4 longest, moderately broadened, sharply pointed; es3 with dextrolateral margin straight and sinistrolateral margin arcuate; es4 with dextrolateral margin arcuate, sinistrolateral margin sinuate.
Left paramere
(
Figs 86–88
). Apical process weakly arcuate and tapering toward apex; paramere body arcuate in lateral view, with strongly developed sensory lobe.
Right paramere
(
Fig. 89
). Apical process short, obtuse, both margins of paramere body sinuate.
Female.
Unknown.
