Diagnosis.
This is the most common and widely distributed species of the genus. Males are separated by the long tapering E and MA. Females are separated by the round anteriorly boarded CO (
Figs 27
A–E), and the lack of a narrow MR, which is present in
C. srivijaya
sp. nov.
. Further, this species can also be easily separated by the presence of PME, which is lacking in
C. srivijaya
sp. nov.
, the only other illustrated species of the genus.
Variation.
The specimens examined show some variation in the shape RTA, E and MA (
Figs 27
B, 27C;
Tang & Li 2010
; Tang
et al.
2009).
Distribution.
China
,
Indonesia
,
Philippines
,
Singapore
,
Thailand
. Its presence is predicted in
Burma
,
Vietnam
and possibly in North
India
.
Remarks.
Libania
is regarded by
Lehtinen (2002)
as a synonym of
Cebrenninus
. The variation in the male genitalia of the specimens examined (but not the corresponding female genitalia) might suggest that more than one species is involved.
