( Plate 1E View PLATE 1 , Fig. 40-46 View Figures 40-46 )

Description. Length. Male 10.15 mm., female unknown.

External morphology. Large robust species. General color dark brown to black, head light yellow with large transverse yellow band basally and weak, narrow, broken, transverse, pale ivory band subapically on forewings; forewing with small stripes on veins; head distinctly narrower than pronotum, anterior margin obtusely rounded; crown wide, about as wide as eyes, produced slightly anteriorly; lateral margins convergent basally; pronotum moderately large, slightly longer medially than crown, surface bullated; mesonotum very large, nearly twice as long medially as pronotum; clypeus long, broad, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus short, broad, about 1/3 as long as clypeus, apex flared laterally.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view triangulate, with small lobe apically, sparsely setose apically ( Fig. 40 View Figures 40-46 ); aedeagus asymmetrical, narrowly tubular, sinuate, in dorsal view with 2 long, apical, setose spines, spines with row of short processes on outer lateral margin ( Fig. 41, 42 View Figures 40-46 ); style with short apophysis, narrow in dorsal view, broad in lateral view ( Fig. 43, 44 View Figures 40-46 ); dorsal connective long, narrow ( Fig. 41, 42 View Figures 40-46 ); connective with broad transparent arms, stem broad ( Fig. 45 View Figures 40-46 ); subgenital plate broad in middle ¾, glabrous ( Fig. 46 View Figures 40-46 ).

Material examined. Holotype male. INDIA: Arunachal prov. , Hunli vicinity, 1500 m., 28 o 19‘ N, 95 o 57’ E., 4-5.VI. 2007, Leg., L Dembicky, Entomological Expedition, “NE India 2007”, Moravian Museum, Brno, Czech Republic ( MMBC). GoogleMaps

Etymology. The species is named for the setose, broadly curved spines of the aedeagus. Remarks. This species is very similar to C. lii Zhang but can be distinguished by pygofer with truncate dorsal half, more sharply tapered caudodorsal margin and absence of the caudoventral lobe and by the glabrous subgenital plate.
