Very nice, big subspecies, but only 1 male and 2 females available; basal areas of mouthparts, labrum and apex of clypeus are yellow-orange; apical joints of maxillary palpi in male wide, axe-like, in females – elongated; antennae in male a little shorter than body, in females – much shorter; can be totally orange yellow (female with pale elytra), or 5 basal joints orange-yellow and others – brown (female with black elytra), or 4 basal joints orange-yellow and others – brown (male); 2 nd joint distinctly elongated; thorax strongly narrowed anteriorly, in male a little shorter than basal width; in females about 1.3-1.4 times shorter than basal width; pronotum with dense recumbent yellow setae arranged in two rows; with regular, very dense punctation and short narrow smooth line; scutellum black, triangular, about as long as wide; elytra in male about 2.4 times longer than basal width, in females – in 2.2-2.4. times; without erect setae, with very short recumbent pubescence; elytral punctation relatively small and very dense; elytra black (male), or orange-yellow (one female), or black with narrow orange-yellow bases (another female - unique character in the genus); legs bicolor, orange-yellow with black apices of middle and hind tibiae and femora; tarsi in male black, in females with pale basal joints; abdomen black with pale pygidium; last abdominal segments in females rounded; pygidium in male rounded, postpygidium slightly emarginated; parameres long and narrow slightly enlarged distally, aedeagus strongly sharpened; body length in male: 10.3mm, width: 3.0mm; body length in females: 12.0- 12.1mm, width: 3.8-3.9mm.

Pronotal pubescence of C. p. sarigolensis ssp. n. is similar to C. p. tournieri Pic, 1895 (see Danilevsky, 2014), but color elytral patterns are quite unique.
