Ground colour ochreous yellow to reddish brown, pronotum with two pairs of ochreous or reddish-brown maculae, outer pair elongate oval and lateral, inner pair median and situated one on either side above scutellar shield, rest of pronotum creamy whitish to yellow; elytral pattern as illustrated with ochreous / reddish brown spots having creamy yellow borders that are interlinked to form two longitudinal rows of spots (Fig. 40a). Genitalia not studied.

Notes. Kovář (2007) coined C. sichuanica as a replacement name for Calvia sicardi Mader, 1930 because it was preoccupied by C. sicardi (Nunenmacher, 1912), a name originally described as Agrabia sicardi . Agrabia sicardi Nunenmacher 1912 (described from California, USA) is a preoccupied name and also a synonym of Calvia quatuordecimguttata (L.). Ren et al. (2009) illustrated the habitus and male genitalia (as C. sicardi). Das et al. (2020a) recorded it from Manipur (northeastern India) and Myanmar.
