Figs 8, 9
) silghtly sinuate. Aedeagal (

) ventral process in lateral view approximately triangular. Style (

Remarks.
This species is very similar to
C. abbreviata
(Jacobi)
,
n. comb.
externally, but it can be distinguished from the latter by:
1)
body larger;
2)
anterior margin of crown less sharp (
Figs 3
,
13
);
3)
transverse beige patch (
Fig. 4
) on frontoclypeus large and enclosing pair of blackish ochreous browlike spots (
Fig. 14
);
4)
apophysis of style of uniform width and only near apex abruptly narrowed to slender pointed process (
Fig. 7
);
5)
style apodeme apex straight in ventral view (
Fig. 7
);
6)
aedeagal ventral process approximately triangular in lateral view (
Fig. 6
).
The specimens examined were previously preserved in alcohol and subsequently point mounted, which may account for some of the differences in coloration noted between this species and
C. abbreviata
.
Etymology.
The specific name refers to the browlike spots of these insects.
