Larger (TL: 5.0– 5.9 mm ), oblong-oval species. Head brown usually with paler clypeus and two oval spots on vertex; pronotum brown with broadly testaceous anterior margin and lateral sides; elytra brown with rather indistinct thin, comb-like shaped basal orange band not reaching suture. Pronotum with short longitudinal strioles laterally. Each elytron with six complete discal striae and one submarginal stria: striae 1, 5–6 beginning slightly posteriorly from base; stria 1 longest, ending close to apex, odd striae somewhat longer than even ones; stria 6 shortest, ending at apical fourth; submarginal stria long, beginning before elytral mid-length and ending at apical fourth ( Fig. 19 ). Median lobe of aedeagus in lateral view in shape of letter “Γ”, broad in basal half and slender in apical half, in mid-length with distinct trapezoidal process on ventral side; apex pointed, turned dorsally ( Fig. 55 ). Parameres moderately broad, ‘C’-shaped; apex short and broad; apical lobes long, club-shaped ( Fig. 56 ). Female similar to male, elytral reticulation slightly more impressed. Strioles on pronotum more numerous, elytra with short strioles laterally from stria 4. Collecting details. The species seems to inhabit wide spectrum of both, stagnant and running water habitats. It was collected in a gutter together with C. felicis sp. nov. , in vegetated bank of a reservoir together with C. miaowangi sp. nov. , as well as in artificial ponds or vegetated bay of a large lake ( Fig. 76 ). Distribution. A species endemic to China , so far known form several localities in northern half of Yunnan , and one locality in western Guizhou ; first record from Guizhou province ( Fig. 82 ).
