MPEF-PI 985a-b, dorsal and ventral sides of a male .</p><p>Diagnosis (revised). Female characters in Petrulevičius (2016). The male (submature nymph (?)) of C. qunita has a pygophore reaching the half of the conexivum; in the dorsal view the pygophore is subquadrate with free lateral sides; the ventral intersegmental suture VI–VII has a small medial notch.</p><p>Type locality and horizon. LH-25, Laguna del Hunco, province of Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina; Ypresian (52 Ma), Lower Eocene .</p><p>Description. Male. This description is based on a single specimen presenting a dorsal (Figs 1B, 2A–C) and a ventral view (Figs 1A, 3A–C) of a mainly complete body lacking appendages (namely antennae, legs, and wings).</p><p>Body: 13.9 mm long and 7.25 mm wide at pronotum. Head broader than long with numerous punctures; anterior margin of head somewhat convex; head 4.75 mm wide, 2.6 mm long (dorsal view); eyes reaching both dorsal and ventral surface of head; eyes well developed with ≈ 80 visible ommatidia in dorsal and ≈ 80 in ventral side; eyes, 0.4 mm wide in dorsal view, 0.35 mm wide in ventral view, 0.87 mm long in dorsal view, 0.77 mm long in ventral view; ommatidia showing juxtaposed crystalline cones hexagonally packed in the anterior portion of the eye; postgenae (= temples) well surpassing the eye laterally; anteocular length 1.46 mm; inter-ocular width 2.92 mm; inter-ocular width / head length ratio 1.12; ocelli situated posteromedially to eyes near anterior pronotal margin; distance between ocelli 1.66 mm; distance between eyes and ocellus 0.42 mm; mandibular plates superimposed (left one under right one) before clypeus for a short distance in dorsal view, separated in ventral view; apex of mandibular plates contiguous in dorsal view about 0.25 mm; lateral margins of mandibular plates deeply concave; clypeus bullet shaped; anteocular process completely embracing the anterior margin of the eye and perpendicular to the sagittal plane, round shaped, 0.58 mm long, with its anterior and posterior margins symmetrical; eyes almost enclosed anteriorly by the anteocular processes and posterolaterally by the expanded anterolateral angles of pronotum; labrum narrow; origin of the labium at the same height than anterior side of anteocular process, distinctly anterior to antennal sockets and anterior margins of eyes.</p><p>Pronotum: transverse with numerous punctures, 7.25 mm wide, 3.46 mm long; anteriorly strongly concave to receive head; anterolateral angles broad and triangular, parallel to the sagittal plane and produced anteriad, reaching the anterior margin of eyes; humeral angles rounded.</p><p>Thoracic venter: punctated, with grooved and punctated mesosternum narrowing anteriad and posteriad; surface of pleura uneven; evaporatorium large with preserved dark oval area covering the mesepimeron and metepimeron; spiracle developed, wide and long and slightly curved (posteriorly); peritreme long, spout-shaped, slightly falcate, apically curved anteriad, with peritremal surface oriented posteroventrally.</p><p>Abdomen in dorsal view: Tergites II to VII visible, 8 mm wide at segment IV, 7.7 mm long; most part of the abdomen apparently covered by a fine layer of sediment that makes the scutellum not visible (?); abdomen laterally arcuate, lateral margins of segments ca. straight, without projections; genital capsule subquadrangular, anteriorly and posteriorly rounded, lateral sides straight, 1.7 mm long and 2.46 mm wide, with posterolateral projections subquadrangular and not prominent.</p><p>Abdomen in ventral view: with pregenital segments II to VII visible; spiracles placed on flat tubercles from segment III to segment VII; genital capsule suboval, anteriorly rounded, 1.42 mm long and 3.04 mm wide, with posterolateral projections subtriangular and not prominent.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C087DBFFD3FFDE25FDFCC7FC921DA5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
