Diagnosis. Male: BL= 10.2–12.3 mm; EW= 2.6–3.5 mm. Body mostly reddish brown, rather stout. Antennae moderate in length, apical three segments exceeding elytral apex, with scape long and slender, 3.45 times as long as wide, relative lengths of segments from base to apex: 80: 14: 58: 66: 93: 81: 80: 73: 75: 73: 76. Pronotum slightly longer than wide, nearly straightly convergent apically with slight constriction at apical fourth; disk moderately punctured with slight depression at apical third and near base. Elytra 2.59 times as long as wide, with 12–13 rows of foveae associated with suberect scales which are ca 1.5 times as long as the diameter of each fovea.
Genitalia ( Fig. 123 View FIGURES 122 – 127 ) with paramere of tegmen 3.57 times as long as basal width, parallel-sided in basal 2/3, then gently narrowed apically, 0.20 times as long as the length of tegmen. Median lobe with dorsal plate slightly shorter than ventral plate; basal struts nearly half length of median lobe. Endophallus ( Fig. 136 View FIGURES 128 – 136 ) with MPH distinctly inflated near apical 1/3, well curved dorsally, with dense hair-like fine spicules and a pair of sclerites near base; APH narrowed, with a rod-like sclerite.
Female: BL= 10.6–14.3 mm; EW=3.3–4.0 mm. Similar to male in body color, punctures and scales. Antennae slightly shorter than in male, apical two and a half of segments exceeding elytral apex, relative lengths of segments from base to apex: 75: 13: 56: 60: 87: 78: 75: 71: 69: 68: 73.

Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Islands of Izu, Gotô, Koshiki, Tanegashima, Yakushima, Tokara, Amami, Okinawa).
Remarks. This species has close relation with C. laticeps , but distinguishable by simple pronotal disk, short elytra, or number of elytral rows (13 in male and 15 in female instead of 12). Also similar to C. taiwana , but easily separable by short antennae.
The host plant of this species is Clerodendron trichotomum Thunb. (Verbenaceae) ( Kojima & Nakamura 2011).
