(Figs 27–38)
Diagnosis. Differing from females of C. fuscus (New), C. garciai Eertmoed and C. multimaculatus Eertmoed, by having the subgenital plate distally rounded (Fig. 35). Differing from males of C. multimaculatus Eertmoed, in having the phallosome anteriorly straight, not concave (Fig. 31), in having the mesal tubercle of the male paraproct well developed (Fig. 32), in having only one spot in the areola postica at wing margin (Fig. 27), and having only one spot in the hindwing margin, between M and CuA (Fig. 28), and in having in the females V3 shorter and not bilobed than in the former (Fig. 38). Differing from C. prionotus (New) in the length and shape of the paraproctal prong.
Description. Male. Color. Head brown, vertex pale brown, with a dark brown band from ocellar group, on each side of the epicraneal sulcus; postclypeus with V-shaped brown bands with outward curved ends. Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline. Hypandrium, phallosome and paraproctal prongs dark brown. Forewing membrane (Fig. 27) slightly smoked, with brown spots at vein ends; pterostigma with central brown band. Hindwing membrane (Fig. 28) smoked, with brown spots at vein ends. Thorax brown, legs light brown, abdomen light brown with brown subcuticular dorsal bands.
Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: phallosome membranous (Fig. 31), posteriorly cleft, external parameres small side lobes. Male epiproct (Fig. 33) with semicircular sclerotization near posterior border and with a small median process flanked by two setae. Male paraprocts (Fig. 32) with mesal lobe small, with field of long setae; mesal prong strongly sclerotized, curved, blunt ended. Hypandrium (Fig. 30) triangular, setose; pigmented area with lateral hyaline fenestrae as illustrated. Paraprocts with 16 trichobothria on basal rosettes.
Measurements: FW: 2200, F: 520, T: 890, t1: 340, t2: 40, t3: 60, ctt1: 23, f1: 300, Mx4: 90, IO: 140, D: 180, d: 270, IO/d: 0.52, PO: 1.5.
Female. Color. Same as the male.
Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: gonapophyses (Fig. 38): V1 long, slender, distally acuminate; V2 +3 with proximal heel, distal process slender, acuminate, with field of microspines; V3 a broad lobe on V2, bearing long setae (Fig. 38). Subgenital plate (Fig. 35) subtriangular, distally sclerotized, with posterior border rounded. Paraprocts triangular (Fig. 36), outer edge with field of long setae; sensory fields with 17 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct (Fig. 37), elongate, rounded posteriorly, with setae as illustrated.
Measurements: FW: 2500, HW: 1850, F: 610, T: 1000, t1: 410, t2: 40, t3: 60, ctt1: 26, f1: 430, f2: 330, f3: 270, Mx4: 180, IO: 300, D: 110, d: 200, IO/d: 1.5, PO: 1.8.
