Remarks. Caloapenesia mugra sp. nov. resembles C. rikawa sp. nov. and C. inyara sp. nov. by presents clypeus rounded; ocellus and eye small. But C. mugra sp. nov. presents uppermost tooth only angulate; flagellomeres median-sized; pedicel short; propodeal disc elongate; hypopygium with median lobe shorter than in C. rikawa sp. nov.; lateral stalk more conspicuous than in C. inyara sp. nov. and C. rikawa sp. nov.
