(Figs 1–2)  
 Type material. Holotype male with pupal exuviae, BRAZIL, MS, Bodoquena, Fazenda Califórnia, stream near Malaise trap n° 4, 20°41´49.9´´S, 56°52´54´´W, 2–3.iv.2012, Wiedenbrug. Paratypes: male with pupal exuviae, female with pupal exuviae, two pharate males with pupal exuviae, two pupal exuviae all same data as holotype.   
 Diagnostic characters. The male of C. bodoquena is differentiated from the other species which also present phallapodeme attachment placed in the caudal apex of the sternapodeme, phallapodeme sclerotized on posterior margin and apex of hind tibia with a s-shaped seta, by the antenna plumose with 7 flagellomeres, aedeagal lobe with a wide base apically pointed, inferior volsella low and rounded, not apical. The pupa has anal lobe rectangular with posterolateral corner with diagonal sclerotized lines, tergites IV –VIII with 4 taeniate lateral setae of about the same size, TII-VI with a posterior row of very strong spines and sternites with shagreen only.
