Description. Male. Body medium-sized, 13.1 mm long, body dark brown to black, pronotum and posterior half part of elytra brightly yellow (Figs. 26, 42), humeral half of elytra black, light and black parts of elytra clearly delimited (Fig. 42). Head small, with relatively small, hemispherically prominent eyes, frontal interocular distance 1.59 times maximum diameter; antennae long, reaching beyond three quarters of elytral length, flabellate, antennomere 3 wide, with lamella 2.15 times longer than stem, lamella attached to apical part of antennomere (Fig. 12). Pronotum transverse, 1.3 times wider than long at midline, lateral margins slightly elevated, frontal margin widely rounded, frontal angles inconspicuous, widely rounded, lateral margins straight to slightly convex, posterior angles almost rectangular, all carinae well-developed (Fig. 26). Elytra flat, slender, subparallel-sided, transverse costae well-developed, dense, regular, elytral areoles slightly transverse (Fig. 42). Phallus robust, parallel-sided, with gradually acuminate apex (Figs. 65 – 66). Measurements. BL 13.1 mm, PL 1.88 mm, PW 2.54 mm, WH 1.5 mm, Edist 0.94 mm, Ediam 0.59 mm, LE 10.7 mm, antennomere 3: stem 1.05 mm, lamella 2.25 mm.
diagnosis
Diagnosis. C. manokwarensis is characteristic in the brightly yellow pronotum, an extensive black humeral part of elytra, and the brightly yellow posterior part of elytra (Fig. 42). Unlike C. kailakiensis, the extent of the black part of elytra is larger (Figs. 41 – 42). Additionally, C. manokwarensis has a robust, parallel-sided phallus (Fig. 65). C. humeralis is its sister-species (Fig. 4) and differs in the coloration (Fig. 40), wide antennomere 3 (Fig. 10), and the shape of the male genitalia (Figs. 62, 66).
