This group is characterized by relatively robust body, short, wide and convex in lateral view. Elytra have groups of macropunctures ( Fig. 26c ); antennae long and pubescent; mesotibiae of males with dense, long pubescence; with distinct ridge; or strongly bent at basal third. The group is distributed in Philippines and Sulawesi Island, and includes four species: C. (C.) antennata Saunders, 1874 ; C. (C.) holynskii sp. nov.; C. (C.) sekerkai sp. nov. and C. (C.) variipennis Saunders, 1874 ; C. (C.) antennata has three subspecies: the nominotypical one, C. (C.) antennata obsoleta J. Thomson, 1878 and C. (C.) antennata barriesi subsp. nov.
