.
Diagnosis.
Recognized by the following set of characters: antennal segment II thinner than segment I (
Figs 40–42
); pronotum black except for yellow patch on humeral angle (
Figs 40–42
); corium with yellow, large, oblique patch medially (
Figs 40–42
); endosomal sclerite es1 long, with basal two thirds tapering toward apex, apical one third broadened, extreme apex serrate; es2 short, broad, cylindrical, tapering toward apex at apical one sixth; es3 long, strongly tapering toward apex, sharply pointed; es4 long, weakly arcuate, slightly tapering toward apex, sharply pointed (
Fig. 80
).
Most similar to
C. ruficeps
in sharing large, oblique patch medially (
Figs 40–42, 46, 47
). It can, however, be distinguished by the head coloration and the shape of the male genitalia (
Figs 80–84
).
Redescription.
Male
(composite description based on
BERGROTH 1922
and the specimens mentioned below).
Coloration
(
Figs 40–42
,
58
). Dorsum black with yellow areas.
Head.
Vertex and basal portion of frons varying from yellow to brown; rest of head, except of yellow gula and posterior portion of maxillary plates and buccula black; antenna dark castaneous to black; segment III with narrow, yellow annulation basally; labium black.
Thorax.
Pronotum
black, except for yellow humeral angle.
Mesoscutum and scutellum
black; scutellum yellow apically.
Thoracic pleura
black; mesepimeron with yellow stripe along entire length; metathoracic scent gland evaporative areas fuscous yellow.
Hemelytron
black to dark brown with yellow areas; basal portion of R+M vein yellow; corium with short, relatively broad, oblique yellow patch medially; inner margin of corium and outer margin of clavus narrowly yellow along entire length; apex of clavus narrowly yellow; apex of embolium and basal margin of cuneus yellow; membrane fuscous.
Legs
. Coxae black; metacoxa yellow at apical half; remaining segments varying from brown dirty yellow to black.
Abdomen
black.
Structure, texture and vestiture
(
Figs 40–42
,
58
,
78, 79
).
Head
covered with relatively long, erect, sparse setae; antenna covered with short, sparse, erect and semirecumbent setae; segment I thin, weakly broadened toward apex; segment II thinner than segment I, cylindrical.
Thorax
.
Pronotum
covered with relatively long, erect setae; calli moderately developed.
Mesoscutum and scutellum
covered with relatively long, erect, moderately dense setae; scutellum weakly convex.
Male genitalia
(
Figs 80–84
).
Aedeagus
(
Fig. 80
). Endosoma with four sclerites (es1–es4): es1 long, with basal two thirds tapering toward apex, apical one third broadened, extreme apex serrate; es2 short, broad, cylindrical, tapering toward apex at apical one sixth; es3 long, strongly tapering toward apex, sharply pointed; es4 long, weakly arcuate, slightly tapering toward apex, sharply pointed.
Left paramere
(
Figs 81–83
). Apical process sinuate; paramere body thin, with distinct sensory lobe.
Right paramere
(
Fig. 84
). Sinuate; apical process short, obtuse; sensory lobe well developed.
