Materials Examined
Type material. Ƥ holotype. [[[Bangladesh]]] Chandkhira, Sylhet, J. L. S. (BMNH). Differential diagnosis.C. regalis is the only species from the C. obsoletus groups occurring in Bangladesh. The species differs from remaining species from continental Asia in the completely black pronotum. Although other species have often darker bottom of areolae in the pronotal disc, they have always the brightly coloured ridges and margins. The species is known only in a single female and further material is needed for reliable delineation of this species.
