Remarks. The new species is similar to C. shii, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the serrate lateral margins and single pair of elongate lateral processes of the aedeagus.

Etymology. The new species name is derived from the words “ dent- ” and “ aedeagus ”, referring to the aedeagus subapex with dentate lamellar.
