Discussion.
The
Thai
material differs from
C. thienemanni
by the following characters: maxilla with
8–9
comb-shape setae on the crown, instead of
12 in
C. thienemanni
; glossae (
Fig.
68
) of the labium more conical, dorsal face with two spines instead of one; bristles on the upper face of femora clearly pointed (
Fig.
69
), posterior margin of the abdominal tergites without rows of microdenticles (
Fig.
70
), apex of gill VII clearly pointed instead of rounded. As in
C. thienemanni
, the tarsal claw bears no subapical teeth. The Vietnamese material present similar characters, but in the absence of material in hand, it cannot be ascertained that both populations belong to the same species. Anyway, this
Thai
species needs to be redescribed and named on the basis of a much more abundant material than covered here (Boonsoong & Sartori, in prep.).
