(Figs. 7 I–L, 16F)

Macrotoma cnemoplitoides Thomson, 1877a: 271 . TL: Moreton Bay. Holotype in MNHN (examined).

Diagnosis. This species is very similar to C. australis, as they both with tiny nodules present on elytra and long antennomere 3, and males without sexual patch on abdominal ventrites, but can be recognised by the following characters: protibia longer, elytra only 2–2.5 times of protibia length in male, elytra less than 3 times of protibia length in female.

Description. Length 30–55 mm. Male. Antennae extending to almost apices of elytra. Antennal scape and antennomere 3 thicker than the following segments. Prothorax almost rectangular, matt with dense punctures in addition to regular deep sculpture; scutellum densely punctate. Abdominal ventrites smooth and shiny. Female. Antenna slightly shorter. Prothorax trapezoidal shiny with regular deep sculpture; scutellum shiny and smooth.

Type. Macrotoma cnemoplitoides Thomson, Holotype male deposited in MNHN, with the following labels “ Moret. Bay | Th. TYPE | 143”.
