Figs. 41–42
Material examined. Holotype: female, Shanxi, Lishan Xiachuan, 25.VII.2012, Liu Zhen, No 201208778 (ZJUH).
Description. Female (Fig. 41) holotype. Body length 5.2 mm, fore wing length 3.8 mm.
Head. Antenna with 31 flagellomeres; first flagellomere equal to the length of second flagellomere. Face (Fig. 42E) granulose-punctate. Clypeus (Fig. 42E) granulose with sparse punctures, slightly convex, apical margin almost truncated. Malar space granulose, 0.5× basal width of mandible. Mandible with a weak lamella, upper tooth equal to the length of lower tooth. Frons granulose, median carina absent. Vertex granulose. Interocellar distance (Fig. 42F) 1.5× ocello-ocular distance and 2.0× distance between median and lateral ocelli. Temple granulose, subpolished. Occipital carina evenly arched, reaching hypostomal carina slightly above mandible base.
Mesosoma. Pronotum granulose-punctate dorsally, subpolished, trans-striate below. Mesoscutum (Fig. 42G) granulose punctate. Scutellum punctate and rugose posteriorly. Metanotum granulose. Mesopleuron (Fig. 42B) punctate, trans-striate below tegula, speculum smooth and shiny. Metapleuron (Fig. 42B) granulose-punctate, punctures smaller and sparser than that on mesopleuron. Propodeum (Fig. 42C) granulose; area basalis triangular with carina posteriorly emerged; area superomedia granulose; area petiolaris granulose medially, rugose laterally; area superomedia confluent with area petiolaris, slightly depressed; all carina strongly developed; propodeal spiracle small and oval.
Wing. Fore wing (Fig. 42A) areolet present and with a short stalk emitting 2m-cu vein from its apical part. Marginal cell short, distal part of surrounding vein 2.0× longer than proximal one. Vein 1cu-a slightly distad of M&RS. External angles of second discal cell acute (60°). Hind wing with nervellus inclivous, intercepted at its middle.
Legs. Hind femur 4.4× longer than wide. Inner spur of hind tibia 0.6× as long as first tarsomere of hind tarsus. Tarsal claws pectinate.
Metasoma. Mat. First metasomal segment (Fig. 42H) round in cross-section of basal 0.3, dorso-lateral carina and lateral groove absent. First tergite 2.5× longer than width of postpetiole. Second tergite 0.6× as long as first tergite, 0.85× its apical width; thyridium round, its distance from basal margin of tergite equal to its diameter. Third tergite 0.55× as long as its apical width. Sixth and seventh tergites without emarginations medially. Ovipositor sheath approx. 1.2× longer than hind femur, ovipositor (Fig. 42D) gradually upcurved.
Colour. Black. Mandible medially and palpi yellowish brown; antenna, scape and pedicel brown; tegula yellow; fore leg yellowish brown with coxa black and telotarsus brown; mid leg yellowish brown with coxa and telotarsus black, trochanter basally brown; hind leg with coxa and trochanter black, tarsus except basal tarsomere 0.8 brown, remainder of hind leg yellowish brown; metasoma with postpetiole, second to fourth tergites anteriorly and subsequent tergites laterally yellowish brown, remainder of metasoma black.
Distribution. China (Shanxi).
Comparative diagnosis. This species is similar to C. adustantennalis sp. nov., but differs from the latter by having first flagellomere as long as second flagellomere, malar space, vertex and metanotum granulose, propodeal area basalis triangular and emerged posteriorly, area superomedia without punctures, propodeal carina strong, hind tibia entirely yellowish brown, and the colour of metasoma different.
Etymology. This species is named in honour of Prof. Zhen Liu, the collector of the holotype.
