Diagnosis.
Recognized by the following set of characters: antennal segment II in both sexes thinner than segment I (
Figs 50, 51
); pronotum with yellow, longitudinal stripe medially and with two yellow patches, each situated laterally, bordering callus (
Figs 50, 51
); scutellum with three patches: two basolaterally and one apically (
Figs 50, 51
); R+M vein yellow, narrowly black medially (
Figs 50, 51
); corium with broad patch medially (
Figs 50, 51
); endosomal sclerite arcuate (
Fig. 115
); left paramere with sensory lobe moderately developed (
Figs 116, 117
). Most similar to
C. stellatus
and
C. tenuicornis
in sharing scutellum with three patches (
Figs 48–53
). It can, however, be easily distinguished by the coloration of the hemelytron and the shape of the male genitalia.
Redescription.
Male.
Coloration
(
Figs 50, 51
,
63
). Dorsum dark brown black with large yellow and dirty yellow areas.
Head.
Vertex dirty yellow, broadly tinged with brown to dark brown; frons, clypeus, and mandibular plate dark brown to black; frons tinged with yellow basally; maxillary plate, buccula, and gula yellow; antenna dark brown; segment II contrastingly yellow apically; labium dark brown.
Thorax
.
Pronotum
dark brown with large, yellow areas; collar yellow; calli dirty yellow, tinged with brown or fuscous; anterolateral portion with more or less developed yellow patch, sometimes reaching posterior margin; medial portion with yellow, longitudinal stripe from posterior margin of pronotal calli till posterior margin; posterior margin tinged with yellow along entire length.
Mesoscutum and scutellum
brown to dark brown; scutellum with three large, yellow or reddish yellow patches: two basolaterally and one apically.
Thoracic pleura.
Proepimeron and proepisternum varying from entirely dark brown to dark brown, broadly tinged with yellow; remaining pleura dark castaneous; evaporative areas and peritreme contrastingly yellow.
Hemelytron.
Corium dark brown black with basal half slightly paler than apical half; medial fracture yellow medially; R+M vein yellow, interrupted medially; medial portion of corium with relatively broad, yellow patch; apical outer angle of corium yellow; inner margin of corium yellow; clavus dark brown, claval vein yellow along entire length; clavus dark brown, its inner angle broadly yellow; membrane fuscous.
Legs.
Coxae dark castaneous; pro- and mesocoxae yellow at apical one fourth; metacoxa yellow at apical half; remaining segments of all legs dark brown with dirty yellow and yellow areas.
Abdomen
black, tinged with yellow laterodorsally and subapically.
Structure, texture and vestiture
(
Figs 50, 51
,
63
,
107–109
). Body elongate; dorsum covered with short, fine, semirecumbent setae.
Head.
Antennal segment II thinner than segment I.
Scutellum
moderately convex.
Male genitalia
(
Figs 115–119
).
Aedeagus
(
Fig. 115
). Endosoma strongly membranous, with one, strongly arcuate sclerite.
Left paramere
(
Figs 116–118
). Apical process thin, arcuate; paramere body well arcuate in dorsal and lateral views; sensory lobe moderately developed in dorsal view.
Right paramere
(
Fig. 119
). Apical process short, sharply pointed; paramere body with apical two thirds with dextrolateral margin weakly arcuate and sinistrolateral margin weakly sinuate; basal one third with both margins arcuate; sensory lobe moderately developed; basal process weakly tapering.
