The female of C. liangheensis sp. nov. is similar to C. kunmingensis Chen &amp; Pan, 2009 and C. apteris Liu &amp; Cai, 1992 . In the female of this new species, antennae contain 17 segments; the median segment displays 3 pairs of spines; tergum II carries 3 pairs of spines, while tergum III–VI bear 5 pairs of spines; sternum VII exhibits an indistinct praeopercular organ, the anal segment is armed with 3 pairs of spines along the posterior edge and cerci not reaching the posterior margin of the anal segment (Fig. 1 E–H). In C. kunmingensis, antennae contain 16 segments; the median segment displays 1 pair of spines; tergum II–VI bear 3 pairs of spines; sternum VII exhibits an indistinct praeopercular organ, the anal segment is armed with 1–2 pairs of spines along the posterior edge and cerci exceeding the posterior margin of the anal segment (Chen &amp; Pan 2009). In C. apteris, antennae contain 14 segments; the median segment displays 1 pair of spines; tergum II–V bear 4 pairs of spines, while tergum VI bears 2 pairs of serrate lobes; sternum VII exhibits a prominent, raised and hump-like praeopercular organ, the anal segment is armed with 1–2 pairs of spines along the posterior edge and cerci exceeding the posterior margin of the anal segment (Liu &amp; Cai 1992). The male of the new species is also similar to C. kunmingensis and C. apteris, but the distinctions between the them are remarkably minute, the male of new species has antennae with 20 segments and semi-tergites curved distinctly (Fig. 2 C, H and I). In C. kunmingensis, which have 19-segmented antennae and semi-tergites shorter than the new species and slightly curved. C. apteris exhibits 20-segmented antennae and semi-tergites nearly straight.</p><p>The specimens of new species exhibit variation in body coloration, ranging from dark brown to light green. We found that in females, the holotype and 4 paratypes possess antennae with 17 segments, while 1 paratype bears antennae with 18 segments and 3 paratypes with incomplete antennae. In male the paratype possesses incomplete antennae and the holotype exhibits partial damage to the left semi-tergite (Fig. 2 I). Notably, female specimens demonstrate a reduction of spines, morphologically modified into tubercles or granules, with these features most prominently developed on the head and mesothorax (Fig. 1 C and F).</p><p>Measurements.
