Cephalothorax length 0.94 mm, width 0.88 mm. Abdomen width 2.00 mm, width 1.09 mm. <i>Carapace.</i> Orange red except black eye area and rough interrupted brown concave lines posterior of the eye area, slightly longer than wide. Chelicerae yellow, longer than wide (0.52: 0.23 mm). Promargin toothless and retromargin has two teeth. Maxillae yellow, almost 2 x longer than wide, apicoinner tip pointed and converging. Labium yellow and pointed apically. Sternum yellow, slightly longer than wide (0.74: 0.69 mm), truncate opposite coxa I and posterior end between coxa IV. <i>Eyes.</i> In two rows, AER slightly longer than PER (0.31: 0.36 mm). Eye diameter (mm):AME (0.09)&gt; PLE (0.07)&gt; PME (0.06)&gt; ALE (0.05). Eye separation (mm): AME-AME = PME-PLE (0.9)&gt; PME-PME (0.06)&gt; AME-ALE (0.05). Median ocular quad wider in front than behind (0.20: 0.17 mm), height 1.17 x longer than anterior width. Clypeus height very wide, 3.4 x AME diameter. <i>Legs.</i> Long and slender with many short brown hairs, brown except orange basal half of femur I-IV. Leg formula 1423. <i>Abdomen.</i> Yellow orange with a pair of midlateral black spots and a transverse black band towards posterior end, 1.83 x longer than wide. Anterior tip strongly pointed. Posterior black spot lined with three pairs of brownish black hairs. Venter dull yellow except a brown anterior plate. Palpal organ has tegular apophysis strongly concave on anterior margins, subtegulum relatively elongate transversely, wider than high. Cymbium with a deep cut before tip, apex tooth-like and pointed in lateral view. Femur dorsally lined with 6-7 dorsal bristles. <i>FEMALE.</i> Unknown. <i>Material Examined</i>. Holotype male (coll. no. H 72), CHINA, Hainan Island, Haiko, 21 April 2012, ATBarrion, JLACatindig and SCVillareal. Two paratype males (coll. no. H 78 &amp; H 79), exactly same data as for holotype. <i>Diagnostic Features.</i> This species closely resembles <i>C. trimaculata</i> Zhu, Zhang and Xu, 1991 but differs from the latter in (1) very pointed anterior tip of abdomen, (2) body and leg measurements, (3) structure of the palpal organ. <i>Etymology.</i> Patronym, in honor of Dr. He Junhua for his monumental works on the Hymenoptera systematics of Braconidae, Dryinidae and Ichneumonidae of China—key biological control agents in the agricultural landscape.
