Named after McDonald's hamburger stores, whose brand like “M” resembles the M-shaped sternapodeme.
Diagnostic characters.
The species is similar to
C. lobata
in having antenna with 10 flagellomeres and AR about 0.35, but can easily be separated by the subrectangular inferior volsella with round corner; and the inverted M-shaped sternapodeme.
