( Figs. 12, 26 View FIGURES 6 – 32 , 42 View FIGURES 33 – 52 , 65–66 View FIGURES 53 – 78 )
Type material. Holotype. Male, Indonesia, West Papua prov., Manokwari, Gn. Meja, 200 m ( A00393 View Materials , LMBC).
Diagnosis. C. manokwarensis is characteristic in the brightly yellow pronotum, an extensive black humeral part of elytra, and the brightly yellow posterior part of elytra ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 33 – 52 ). Unlike C. kailakiensis , the extent of the black part of elytra is larger ( Figs. 41–42 View FIGURES 33 – 52 ). Additionally, C. manokwarensis has a robust, parallel-sided phallus ( Fig. 65 View FIGURES 53 – 78 ). C. humeralis is its sister-species ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 4 – 5. 4 ) and differs in the coloration ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 33 – 52 ), wide antennomere 3 ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 6 – 32 ), and the shape of the male genitalia ( Figs. 62, 66 View FIGURES 53 – 78 ).
Description. Male. Body medium-sized, 13.1 mm long, body dark brown to black, pronotum and posterior half part of elytra brightly yellow ( Figs. 26 View FIGURES 6 – 32 , 42 View FIGURES 33 – 52 ), humeral half of elytra black, light and black parts of elytra clearly delimited ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 33 – 52 ). Head small, with relatively small, hemispherically prominent eyes, frontal interocular distance 1.59 times maximum diameter; antennae long, reaching beyond three quarters of elytral length, flabellate, antennomere 3 wide, with lamella 2.15 times longer than stem, lamella attached to apical part of antennomere ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 6 – 32 ). Pronotum transverse, 1.3 times wider than long at midline, lateral margins slightly elevated, frontal margin widely rounded, frontal angles inconspicuous, widely rounded, lateral margins straight to slightly convex, posterior angles almost rectangular, all carinae well-developed ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 6 – 32 ). Elytra flat, slender, subparallel-sided, transverse costae well-developed, dense, regular, elytral areoles slightly transverse ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 33 – 52 ). Phallus robust, parallel-sided, with gradually acuminate apex ( Figs. 65–66 View FIGURES 53 – 78 ).
Measurements. BL 13.1 mm, PL 1.88 mm, PW 2.54 mm, WH 1.5 mm, Edist 0.94 mm, Ediam 0.59 mm, LE 10.7 mm, antennomere 3: stem 1.05 mm, lamella 2.25 mm.
Distribution. Western New Guinea, Bird’s Head Peninsula, Manokwari ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 3. 1 – 2 ).
Etymology. The epithet refers to the local name ‘Manokwari’, the type locality of the species.
