species-group: Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 325 (key), 329 (fig. 107p), 336 (fig. 110m), 339 (diagnosis), 350 (fig. 112j).
Diagnosis.
The
capitalis
species-group is characterised by apex of T3 simple, TFC prominent and M-shaped, and mid ocellus lidded. Some species in the
capitalis
species-group are also easily recognised by female metasoma usually blue to green with golden stripes (e.g.
C. abuensis
Nurse, 1902,
C. bayadera
du Buysson, 1896,
C. ignifasciaMocsary
, 1893, and
C. jalala
Nurse, 1902).
Description.Scapal basin microridged medially. Male F1l/w = 1.5; female F1l/w = 1.9-3.0. TFC usually well developed and M-shaped. Mid ocellus lidded. MS usually <1.0 MOD. T2 with median ridge. T3 weakly saddled in female; pit row moderately impressed; apex of T3 convex or slightly concave medially, without apical teeth.Biology.Unknown.Species included.
