Notes. In the original description by Young (1979), only a lateral view of the aedeagus was provided and other aspects of the male genitalia were not illustrated. Subsequent researchers also have not provided additional illustrations of the genitalia. Here, we illustrate the male genitalia (Figs 13–18). C. bidentata Krishnankutty & Viraktamath was originally distinguished from C. yasumatsui based on the position of the dentate processes on the aedeagus shaft, i.e., apical in C. yasumatsui but anteapical in C. bidentata (Krishnankutty & Viraktamath, 2008). Based on the description and illustrations provided by Krishnankutty & Viraktamath (2008) the body size, coloration and other features of male genitalia of C. bidentata are quite similar to those of C. yasumatsui. In all specimens of C. yasumatsui we examined, the aedeagus shaft had the processes subapical in lateral view, but seemingly much closer to apex in ventral view and lateroventral view. Thus, based on comparison of the original description of C. bidentata Krishnankutty & Viraktamath (2008) and C. yasumatsui Young in Young (1979), and examination of male genitalia figures and many specimens collected from China, we consider C. bidentata Krishnankutty & Viraktamath, 2008 to be a junior synonym of C. yasumatsui Young, 1979.
