Description.
Body elongate elliptic, moderately convex. Mandibles, head, pronotum, scutellum, elytra, ventral surfaces including coxae, femora and tibiae dark reddish brown; labrum, most of frons, antennomeres 6–10 and basal half of 11 brown; basal antennomeres, apex of antennomere 11, palpi and tarsi pale brown. Length: 4.5 mm; width: 2.3 mm (range of male specimens: 4.3–5.4 mm long, 2.2–2.6 mm wide).
Frons with very few small punctures anteriorly in median depressed area and supraocular sulci prolonged medially to middle of dorsal edge of narrowly separated supraantennal calli; clypeus with few small punctures basally, and anterior border with deep semicircular median emargination. Eyes large, separate on frons by 1.9 × longer diameter of eye. Antennomeres 3–10 slightly enlarged apically, longitudinally compressed on antero-ventral side basally before thickened apex; relative proportions of antennomeres: 2.5-1.0 - 1.7 - 2.0 - 2.6 - 2.4-2.7 - 2.2 - 2.3 - 2.1 - 2.9. Pronotum with relatively broad lateral explanate margin with large impressed punctures along inner border; anterior border of pronotum 0.8 × as wide as posterior border; surface alutaceous, with relatively dense double punctation, few shallow scattered small punctures on disc, more abundant, larger and deeper on lateral declivities, on more homogeneous background of tiny, shallow micropunctures. Prosternal process about half as wide as transverse diameter of procoxae. Elytra about 1.4 × as long as ensemble width at base, widest behind humeri; surface smooth, glossy, with relatively large punctures, smaller than intervals, rather confused anteriorly on disc. Epipleura with tiny setae along apical margin and sutural angle. Basitarsomeres enlarged, wider than third tarsomere in protarsi and as wide in mid and hind tarsi, shorter than second and third tarsomeres combined in protarsi and about as long in meso- and metatarsi; third bilobed tarsomere relatively small, particularly in protarsi. Median apodeme of first abdominal ventrite about half as long as ventrite, arched, narrower than mesosternal process; all ventrites with fine microreticulation, sparse fine punctures and long fine, posteriorly adpressed pale yellow setae. Penis (Fig. 7 h View Figure 7 ) slender, regularly curved ventrally, with sides slightly concave in ventral view, as wide preapically as wide at base; apex elongate oval, arched distally with relatively large median blunt tooth; gonopore oval, with distal end separated from apex of penis by distance longer than maximum width of gonopore; dorsal flap subtrapezoidal, longer than wide, covering more than half of gonopore. — Females. Females lack compressed antennomeres and have smaller and widely separated supraantennal calli, perhaps denser punctation on pronotum, and a trend to geminate punctures on elytra. Spermatheca (Fig. 1 v View Figure 1 ) with cornu slightly shorter than nodulus, bent more or less at right angle relative to nodulus; nodulus slightly sigmoidal, bulbous basally, with short protruding insertion of spermathecal gland submedially, opposite to cornu; spermathecal duct inserted laterally near base of nodulus, oriented opposite to cornu, relatively short, completely sclerotized and gradually thickening distally from spermatheca, shorter than nodulus and with half elongate coil.
Diagnosis.
Species sharing important diagnostic traits with C. corrugata sp. nov., C. impressicornis sp. nov. and C. subgeminata sp. nov., in particular the presence of tiny setae apically on elytra and relatively deep anterior emargination of male clypeus. This species can be however recognized by its relatively uniform brown colour with pale tarsi, which is the main difference with C. impressicornis , apart from the evenly convex pronotum and sides of elytra compared with C. corrugata , and confused and sparser punctation anteriorly on disc of elytra compared with C. subgeminata . In some individuals of C. spadicea sp. nov., legs can be testaceous, paler than dorsal surfaces, but the species can be recognized, apart from the apical fringe of setae on elytra in both sexes, by the broad gutter-like margins of pronotum, with large impressed punctures along inner border and the deep anterior incision of male clypeus.
Derivatio nominis.
The species name is the Latin adjective (f.), spādicea, meaning chestnut- or date-coloured.
Distribution.
This species has been found in a small low-elevation area of dense humid forest in the valley of the Rivière Bleue (Fig. 8 e View Figure 8 ).
