Lopatin, 1962: 320 (type locality: Turfan); Regalin & Medvedev, 2010: 566 (catalogue).

Material examined. CHINA: Xinjiang: 13, Altay, 1.VIII.1960, coll. Shuyong Wang; 2ƤƤ, Altay, 5.VIII.1960, coll. Shuyong Wang; 23, 2ƤƤ, Zubai, Altay, 7.VIII.1960, coll. Shuyong Wang.

Distribution. China (Xinjiang).

Remarks. C. (s. str.) quadripunctata is characterized by a black punctured pronotum, moderately punctured elytra, and the special structure of the median lobe. The lobe has a broad apex with a ventral ridge, and much narrower median part. C. (s. str.) quadripunctata turfanica differs from the nominal subspecies by a less coarsely punctured pronotum and largely punctured elytra. Also, it occurs only in Xinjiang, China, while the typical subspecies occurs in the whole of Europe, Asia Minor, Iran and Mongolia.
