Distribution. Thailand (Chiang Mai).
Variation. Median clypeal lobe with median tooth slightly conspicuous. Hypopigial lateral lobe not conspicuous; specimens from Huai Nam presents ventral corner of occipital carina protuberant, hypopigial median lobe wide.
Remarks. Caloapenesia nadaili sp. nov. resembles C. paruwa sp. nov. by presents head elongate, ocellus and eye small; aedeagus uniformly wide. But C. nadaili sp. nov. presents head bulging, uppermost tooth of mandible angulate; aedeagus slightly wider than C. paruwa sp. nov.; hypopigial median lobe wide.
