Description. Male. Measurements (n=2): LB: 17.2–17.9 (holotype: 17.9; mean 17.55); LP: 4.1– 4.3 (holotype: 4.3; mean 4.2); WP: 4.2–4.6 (holotype: 4.6; mean 4.4); LE: 12.5–13.5 (holotype: 13.5; mean 13.0); WE: 7.0–7.6 (holotype: 7.6; mean 7.3); LR: 3.1–3.2 (holotype: 3.2; mean 3.15); WR: 2.7–2.9 (holotype: 2.8; mean 2.75). Pronotum slightly wider than long, WP/LP 1.05; elytra distinctly longer than wide: LE/WE 1.78, more than three times longer than pronotum: LE/LP 3.1, wider than pronotum: WE/WP 1.66; rostrum longer than wide: LR/WR 1.15.
Body black, opaque, with markings of brown, shimmery blue, green and yellow round scales. Antenna brown.
Head subovate, with black longitudinal line without scales stretching from base of forehead to apex of rostrum; basal portion of head behind eyes laterally with shimmery blue scales, brown scales at apical part, lateral portions of head covered with shimmery blue, green and yellow scales; forehead slightly elevated dorsally, nearly three times as wide as eye; eyes relatively small, convex, circumscribed laterally by glossy, yellow to green scales; rostrum widest at apex, gradually narrowing to base, slightly incurved along apical 2/ 3 in dorsal view, densely covered with brown scales except of median longitudinal black line, and with short light hairs laterally; antennal scrobe from subapical part of rostrum to basal margin of eye; antenna slender, scape slightly incurved ventrally, covered with short light hairs; funicle I and II sub-equal, longer than funicles III–VII; club sub-ellipsoidal, base narrowed, with light brown pubescence, remaining antennomers dark brown, about three times as long as wide.
Pronotum subcylindrical, evenly covered with blue, green and yellow scales on disc, except black median longitudinal line without scales; lateral parts with longitudinal line of more bright yellow scales and green to blue intense scales on latero-ventral parts; slightly incurved at subapical part in dorsal view, straightened to widest middle and straight to base, basal margin slightly widened, with lots of long brown hairs; straight to middle (lateral view), convex in basal portion and straight to basal margin.
Elytra subovate, strongly rugose, widest in middle, densely covered with glossy, yellow, green and blue scales, interrupted by black longitudinal elevations without scales; scutellum rounded, covered with short light brown hairs.
Underside densely covered with round glossy, yellow and green scales on metasternum, coxa and ventrites I and II; ventrites III-V covered with tion and similarities in shape of male aedegal body, but it can be distinguished by the following characters: 1) elytra of C. barsevskisi strongly rugose, with five black longitudinal elevations from basal to apical margin, longitudinal elevations widened along subbasal part, and four shorter longitudinal elevations between each of the five longer elevations, shorter elevations from subbasal part to apical ½ of elytra, without punctured intervals; elytra of C. iligana Schultze, 1922 less rugose, longitudinal elevations between longer elevation I and II, II and III lack or very indistinct, with punctured intervals; 2) rostrum in dorsal view with indistinct impression along apical 2/ 3 in C. barsevskisi sp. nov. and with more deep impression along midline in C. iligana Schultze, 1922 , more narrow and elongated; 3) apex of the aedeagus of C. barsevskisi sp. nov. distinctly curved, if see laterally, while that in C. iligana straight ( Fig. 6 View Fig C-D); 4) disc of pronotum of C. barsevskisi sp. nov. without two bright rows of green scales unlike in C. iligana Schultze ( Fig. 5 View Fig ).
longitudinal light brown scales, mixed with short light brown dense hairs.
Legs thick, densely covered with small light brown to greenish round scales; femur with few short light brown hairs along internal margin; entire length of tibia with longer light brown hairs; tarsomeres I and II subequal in size.
Aedeagus as shown in Fig. 6E, F View Fig .
Female unknown.
Differential diagnosis. C. barsevskisi sp. nov. is closely related to C. iligana Schultze, 1922 from the same island (Mindanao) by it’s body colora-
Distribution. Mindanao Island, Philippines.
Etymology. We named this species after Prof. Arvīds Barševskis, in appreciation of continuous help and advices during the research.
