Diagnosis. Species of average size, coloration brownish with yellow brown patterns, characterized by male FW coloration including absence of yellow area posterior to mirror, and by the following features of male genitalia: posterior region of pseudepiphallus wider than anterior region, bases of rami membranous as in C. empagatao and C. talaudae n. sp.
Description. Average size for the species group. General coloration mostly light brown and yellow brown, with dark brown patterns on head and lateral lobes of pronotum (Fig. 57A–D). Head dorsum yellow brown with 4 dark brown bands including 2 complete lateral ones with an anterior notch sometimes discontinuous and 2 median punctuated bands; area posterior to eyes yellow brown with 2 short dark brown lines (Figs 6M). Scapes yellow brown, their bases darker; pedicel dark brown; rest of antennae light brown. Dorsal part of fastigium dark brown, front part yellow. Lateral side of head dark brown, face gray brown to dark brown, with a transverse yellow brown band ventral to eyes. Mouthparts dark brown mottled with yellow. Maxillary palpi yellow brown, apex dark brown. Pronotum: Dorsal disk lateral margins yellow brown to whitish; median area with dark brown patterns and black spots. Lateral lobes dorsal half dark brown, ventral part yellow brown. Legs I–II yellow brown, femora with brown spots and tibiae with brown rings; tarsomeres I–II-1 yellow brown, apex brown. Legs III yellow brown including knees. Tarsomeres III-1 yellow brown, their apex dark brown. Hind wing tail dark brown, 1.5 longer than pronotum. Cerci yellow brown, with dark brown spots basally then with dark brown rings. Abdomen mostly dark brown to black with dorsal longitudinal discontinuous yellow lines.
Male: FW coloration brown, little contrasted (Fig. 10I), with whitish or yellow areas including bases of anal veins, anterior half of CuA, harp veins and part of chords. Diagonal orange brown. Light area posterior to mirror almost not visible, except for a few translucent transverse veins. External part of e1 dark brown. M/R area orange brown, R/Sc area orange brown, basal part dark brown. Projections of Sc whitish, more ventral veins and cells of lateral field brown. FW venation (Fig. 10I): 1A slightly bisinuated. CuP missing. Harp with 2 w-shaped veins. Mirror area: mirror (d1) oval, crossed near mid-length by a transverse vein; d2 as wide as mirror, crossed by several accessory veins. Cell e1 crossed at mid-length by an accessory vein. Apical field with 3 cell alignments posterior to mirror (HT). Lateral field with 3 projections of Sc and 3 more ventral veins. Subgenital plate yellow brown.
Male genitalia (Fig. 57E–G): Posterior region of pseudepiphallus wider than anterior region. Dorsal ridges parallel or slightly divergent posteriorly, little carinated laterally, without inner expansion as in C. erniae n. sp. Pseudepiphallic sclerite with short antero-lateral expansions, the membrane between them with few setae. Posterior pseudepiphallic apex rounded, with a small rounded translucent area. Rami characterized by their membranous bases; parallel, with large preapical plates and thin apical stems. Ectophallic arc membranous, sclerotized on median area only with a short posterior expansion. Ectophallic fold with weak lateral sclerites; apex trilobate, membranous, median lobe oval. Endophallic sclerite wider than long, with a triangular posterior expansion. Endophallic apodeme absent or very small, with no visible lateral lamellas and dorsal crest. Membrane of endophallic cavity finely plicate, dorsal cavity longer than in most Cardiodactylus species.
Female: FW coloration brown with yellow brown veins (Fig. 12G). Bases of anal veins whitish. CuP strong, orange brown. Anterior half of CuA, M and related accessory veins yellow. R/Sc area and veins orange brown. Projections of Sc and more ventral veins whitish, the cells between them brown. FW venation (Fig. 12G): 11–12 (n = 2) strong longitudinal veins on dorsal field; lateral field with 10 (n = 2) longitudinal veins including 7 projections of Sc and 3 more ventral veins. Ovipositor of average length, apex with both dorsal and ventral edges denticulate (Fig. 13R).
Female genitalia (Fig. 15H): Copulatory papilla triangular with baso-lateral sclerites; apex rounded and sclerotized, folded ventrally.
Juvenile: Unknown.
Measurements. See Table 16.
Habitat and life history traits. Unknown.
Behavior. Unknown.
Remark. The male specimen from Lampung Province (Indonesia, South Sumatra) shows differences with C. tello in terms of coloration and male FW venation which barely allow distinguishing it from other species from the same region (C. lampongsi and C. jdoeria). However the male genitalia are very similar to that of C. tello with small differences suggesting that it may be another species, to be assessed with additional material from Sumatra and surrounding islands.
