.
Diagnosis:
Recognizable by its small size, total length 2.28–2.68, the ovate to obovate body form, the coloration of the antennal segments varying from yellow to black, the coloration of leg (
Fig. 17
), and the structure of male genitalia. Similar in size and general appearance to
C. pullus
, easily distinguished by coloration of the femora. In the new species, the fore and middle femora are yellowish, the hind femora are dark brown on proximal 80% and pale distally. However, in
C. pullus
the femora are dark, with deep yellow at apex only.
Description:
Male
(
Fig. 7
): Macropterous, elongately oval.
Coloration: Body dark; eye brown, but margin yellow; the coloration of antennae varying from completely yellow to almost black; clypeus and buccula dark; labium ranging from brown to black; fore and middle femora entirely yellow, with dark spots, hind femora dark brown, pale distally; tibia yellow and tibial spines brown with brown bases; tarsal segment III and claws darkened; abdomen uniformly black.
Structure: Dorsum smooth and weakly shining, covered with recumbent, shining, and simple setae; clypeus not visible from above; frons and vertex broad and flattened in dorsal view; posterior margin of vertex moderately rounded; eyes not conforming to anterior margin of pronotum; antenna inserted below ventral margin of eye; antennal segments III and IV slender than segment II, total length longer than segment II; labium reaching to posterior margin of middle trochanters; hemelytra nearly parallelsided, corial margin slightly convex; cuneal fracture weakly incised, hemelytra almost not deflexed at fracture; membrane fully developed; metathoracic scentgland evaporatory area as in
Fig. 12
; pygophore not very large relative to total size of abdomen.
Male genitalia (
Figs. 27–30
): Vesica curving, apical spine of vesica short; secondary gonopore large, located near apex of vesica; phallotheca heavily sclerotized; left paramere boatshaped, typical of
Phylini
; right paramere decurved apically.
Female
(
Fig. 8
): Similar to male, but smaller and more ovoid than male.
Distribution:
China
(Sichuan).
Etymology:
Named for the area (Sichuan Province of
China
) where the
type
material was found.
