External Morphology.
Moderately large, robust species. General color tannish with numerous, scattered dark brown markings on translucent forewings, mesonotum, pronotum and crown; eyes dark brown; head narrower than pronotum, anterior margin broadly rounded, slightly produced anteriorly; crown broad, about as wide as eyes; eyes large, semiglobular; clypeus long, narrow, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus short, about 1/3 as long as clypeus, narrow, apex flared laterally.
Male genitalia.
Pygofer in lateral view triangulate, tapered caudodorsally, small digitate process on caudoventral margin (
Fig. 33
); aedeagus with very long, narrow shaft, 2 long, straight, narrow, glabrous processes arising near middle, closely appressed (
Fig. 34, 35
); style with long broad apophysis, shallow bifurcation apically (

Etymology.
The name of the species is descriptive for the 2 closely appressed processes on the middle of the shaft of the aedeagus.
Remarks.
This species is similar to
C. patricia
(Jacobi)
in position and configuration of the aedeagal processes and can be separated by the narrower shaft of the aedeagus, long style with shallow apical bifurcation and the glabrous subgenital plate.
