Description.
Body elongate elliptic, moderately convex. Dorsum, venter, coxae and mandibles very deep brown, with faint bronze reflections mostly on head and pronotum; labrum, antennae and legs testaceous, with base of tibiae and apical antennomeres except apex of eleventh antennomere infuscate; palpi ochre. Length: 4.5 mm; width: 2.3 mm (dimensions of paratypes: 4.5–4.7 mm long, 2.3–2.4 mm wide).
Frons with few tiny punctures basally and supraocular sulci prolonged medially to outer third of dorsal edge of supraantennal calli; clypeus with few tiny punctures basally and anterior border of clypeus with subtrapezoidal median emargination. Eyes large, separate on frons by 1.9 × their transverse diameter. Relative proportions of antennomeres: 2.2-1.0 - 1.9 - 2.1 - 2.4 - 2.3-2.7 - 2.2 - 2.3 - 2.2 - 3.0. Pronotum with tiny punctures at sides of basal marginal furrow; anterior border of pronotum 0.8 × as wide as posterior border; surface slightly less microgranulate than frons, with abundant, slightly aciculate punctures, as large as intervals at sides of median line and lateral declivities, interspersed with some micropunctures. Prosternal process about half as wide as transverse diameter of procoxae. Elytra about 1.2 × as long as ensemble width at base, widest behind humeri; surface finely microreticulate, shinier than pronotum, entirely glabrous except for very few short setae near slightly projecting sutural angles; with relatively large punctures, as big as intervals and tending to relatively regular geminate rows on disc; last two intervals convex in apical 2 / 3, and other intervals weakly convex in apical third. Epipleura notably enlarged before narrowing apically, with tiny setae in apical border. Tarsi slender, with basitarsomeres enlarged, wider than third tarsomere and shorter than second and third tarsomeres combined in protarsi, nearly as wide as third tarsomere apically and about as long as second and third combined in meso- and metatarsi. 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. 9 k View Figure 9 ) slender, regularly curved ventrally, with sides slightly concave in ventral view, as wide preapically as wide at base; apex elongate elliptic, arched distally with wide, short, subtrapezoidal apex; gonopore short oval, with distal end separated from apex of penis by distance much longer than maximum width of gonopore; dorsal flap subtrapezoidal, longer than wide, covering more than basal half of gonopore. — Females. The female of C. subgeminata sp. nov. shows typical differences with the males in the group, including differences in facial structure, with broader clypeus at base and lack of deep incision on anterior border of clypeus, shorter and thinner antennae and shorter and thinner basitarsomeres of all tarsi, and in this case, more apparent subgemination of elytral punctures, with outer intervals convex. Spermatheca (Fig. 1 a View Figure 1 ) hook-shaped, with cornu about as long as nodulus, more or less regularly curved; nodulus strongly bulbous at base, with short interstitial ramus opposite to cornu, before basal enlargement of nodulus; spermathecal duct thin, inserted laterally at base of nodulus, oriented opposite to cornu and bowed, relatively short before distal gradual enlargement with poorly sclerotized complete, elongate coil.
Diagnosis.
The group of species with testaceous legs and antennae usually have elytral punctures smaller than intervals. In this species, punctures on disc of elytra are not bigger than in other species, but they are much more abundant, owing to subgemination, thus they are about as large as intervals. The other species with dense, subgeminate punctation on elytra is its sister, C. corrugata sp. nov., but they can be distinguished by the reduced punctation, almost absent in the frontoclypeus of C. subgeminata sp. nov., compared with sparse but extended punctation in C. corrugata , apart from the sparser punctation on a smoother, unwrinkled pronotum in C. subgeminata , compared with C. corrugata .
Derivatio nominis.
The species name reflects the tight punctation on the elytra of the type, tending to regular series of geminate punctures, thus using as suffix the participle (f.) of geminō (= to double), - gemināta, together with the prefix sub - derived from the same preposition, sub (= under), to qualify the adjective as an approximation, a trend.
Distribution.
At present, this species is only known from a group of nearby localities, in moderate elevation (160–470 m a. s. l.), deep in the forest of the Parc provincial des Grandes Fougères (Fig. 8 a View Figure 8 ).
