( Figs 29 a–e, 32w) Diagnosis. The female belongs to a group of species with very finely and densely punctate terga ( Fig. 29 d) namely C. babai Hirashima & Tadauchi (only known from Japan ), C. sodalis and C. heilongtanensis sp. n. C. yanruae differs from C. babai and C. sodalis in the distinctly narrower apical tergal hair bands ( Fig. 29 d) and the much longer hairs on the scutum (about twice as long as in latter species) ( Fig. 29 c) while C. heilongtanensis sp. n. has a more sparsely punctate and shiny clypeus ( Fig. 24 b). The male is unknown. Description. Female, BL= 9.5–11mm ( Fig. 29 a); head broader than long, HW: HL=58: 50 ( Fig. 29 b); gena nearly as wide as eye in lateral view, GW: EW=10: 11; width of metasoma as broad as that between tegulae, MtW: TW=65: 65. Clypeus broader than long, densely and coarsely punctate ( Fig. 29 b); disc of scutum shiny, densely punctuate, i=0.5–1.5d ( Fig. 29 c); malar area medially shorter than width of mandible base, only 1/2 long as the width of mandible base; facial fovea as broad as the width of antennal flagellum; vertex behind eye rounded; propodeum laterally covered with sparse long erect hairs, integumental sculpture completely visible; posterior margin of T1 opaque dark brown; punctation on disc of T1 fine and dense, i=0.5–1.0d ( Fig. 29 e); T1–T5 with narrower apical hair bands ( Fig. 29 d), apical hair band on T1 broadly interrupted medically, T2 without basal hair band, apical hair band on T2 nearly 1/6 width as that of the related exposed T2 ( Fig. 29 e); sloping anterior and lateral anterior parts of T1 sparsely covered with erect white long plumose hairs ( Fig. 29 d, 29e); Antennal flagellum ventrally black; distitarsus of all legs dark brown, other parts black. Face, vertex and scutum covered with dark paler yellowish white erect long plumose hairs, intermixed with some black hairs ( Figs. 29 b, 29c), especially pilosity on scutum much longer ( Fig. 29 e); mesepisternum covered with sparse long paler white plumose hairs ( Fig. 29 a).
