This species stands closely to C. oppleta (Collin) and C. alata ( Kozanek & Kwon). It can be identified by the narrow but distinct yellow markings on the abdominal tergites; erect anteromedial setae on hind tibia; the lateral shape of the surstyli and the trilobate structure of membranous sheath at its apex ( Fig. 7 ; Motamedinia et al. 2017b : fig. 3B). Distribution. Iran ( Fig. 10 ) ( Motamedinia et al. 2017b ). Remarks. This species was described by Motamedinia and Kehlmaier (2017) from southeast Iran. Figure 7.
