Similar to female in general appearance and colouration.</p><p>Comments. This species comes close to C. petiolus Chou, 1986 in having second submarginal cell of fore wing long petiolate and as both these species get attracted to light trap, however it can be separated from the latter in having length of eye in dorsal view 3.8 × as long as temple (2.2–2.4 × in C. petiolus); sixth segment of maxillary palp 1.3 × as long as fifth segment (about 2 × in C. petiolus); first metasomal tergite (petiole) 9.5 × as long as its apical width (8.8–9.0 × in C. petiolus); ovipositor sheath 0.4 × as long as fore wing (0.28 × in C. petiolus); cu-a distinctly curved (slightly curved in C. petiolus); r-m arising at 0.28 of 2-SR (r-m arising from about middle of 2-SR in C. petiolus).</p><p>Etymology. The species name is derived from the country “ INDIA ” from where it was collected.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AC87F98B319D31FF16FD5FFAD5FC3C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
