(Figs 29–40)
Diagnosis. Belonging in species group “1”, subgroup 1, in the classification of Eertmoed (1986). Differing from C. ramulosus, C. arboricola and C. panchei n. sp., by having the paraproctal prong with a short preapical tooth (Fig. 33). The female has the subgenital plate posteriorly concave, with postero-lateral corners rounded, setose (Fig. 40).
Male. Color. Head (Fig. 31) dark brown, anteclypeus, postclypeus and labrum pale brown. Compound eyes dark brown, ocelli hyaline. Antennae brown, flagellomeres with clear distal ends; maxillary palps pale brown. Meso- and metanotum brown, thoracic pleura and legs pale brown. Forewing membrane hyaline, with brownsmoked spots on wing margin between the ends of veins R2+3 and Cu1a (Fig. 29); membrane of pterostigma with little brown spots (Fig. 29); veins pale brown, with brown spots along the veins and at wing margin. Hindwing hyaline with a brown spot on vein ends, and four spots on wing margin between M and Cu1 (Fig. 30). Abdomen brown, clunium and hypandrium pale brown; epiproct cream, paraproct cream, paraproctal prong dark brown.
Morphology. As in diagnosis plus the following: head vertex almost straight (Fig. 31); compound eyes large, D is 60% the length of the head in front view; with interommatidial setae. Forewings (Fig. 29); membrane pterostigma with setae, Rs, M and Cu1 with spur veins. Hypandrium shield-shaped, broad, distally rounded, with medium sized setae and lateral macrosetae. Epiproct trapeziform (Fig. 32), slightly concave posteriorly, with three macrosetae mesally and one near each postero-lateral corner, posterior setal field as illustrated. Paraprocts (Fig. 33) with medium sized setae and macrosetae on long, stout mesal process as illustrated; mesal prong stout, strongly sclerotized; sensory fields with 20 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Phallosome elongate, almost straight anteriorly; external parameres rounded, membranous, without pores; endophallic lobes sclerotized, hood shaped; internal parameres absent (Fig. 34).
Measurements. FW: 3175, HW: 2375, f1: 600, f2: 430, f3: 350, f4: 300, Mx4: 200, IO: 253, D: 420, d: 290, IO/ d: 0.87, PO: 0.69.
Female. Color. Essentially as in the male; forewings hyaline, with smoked spots as in the male (Fig. 35). Subgenital plate brown, epiproct, paraprocts and genital valvulae pale brown.
Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head (Fig. 37) with upper border of the compound eyes below the level of the vertex, compound eyes smaller than in the males, D is 39% the length of the head in front view, narrower than the interocular distance (0.49); with interommatidial setae; forewings as in the male. Epiproct (Fig. 38) bell-shaped, with three macrosetae mesally and four distal macrosetae; abundant medium sized setae distally, as illustrated. Paraprocts (Fig. 38) oval, with setae as illustrated, sensory fields with 18 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Subgenital plate densely setose (Fig. 40). Gonapophyses (Fig. 39), slender and distally acuminate, with abundant microsetae distally; v2 +3 with row of four macrosetae.
Measurements: FW: 3162, HW: 2350, f1: 480, f2: 380, f3: 305, Mx4: 85, IO: 350, D: 290, d: 170, IO/d: 2.06, PO: 0.59.
