Figures 3, 4 , 13 , 17, 18 , 29, 30 , 35, 37 , 42

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the small size, stumpy body, unusually pale and reduced medioapical spot on forewings nearly equal in diameter to width of the antennal segment II at base, structure of the male genitalia, and coloration of hind femora and antennal segment II. Very similar to C. reuteri in the vestiture, mottled color pattern of dorsum, color pattern of antennal segment II, and

structure of the male genitalia. However, the medioapical spot in C. reuteri is of typical color and size—dark brown, somewhat larger in diameter than width of antennal segment I at middle. The series of round spots along the foremargin of the hind femora is pale brown and sometimes indistinct in C. reaumuriae whereas in C. reuteri the spots are dark brown and distinctly shaped. Additionally, C. reuteri is larger and more gracile than C. reaumuriae , total length of the former rarely exceeds 2.0 mm in both sexes. Antennal segment II in C. reaumuriae is comparatively short, 1.7– 1.9 X in males, 1.4–1.5 X in females as long as width of head while in C. reuteri this ratio is 2.1–2.3 X and 1.7–1.9 X as long, respectively. The male genitalia of both species are distinctive: shape of the sclerotized process of theca is nearly triangular in C. reaumuriae and longer and narrower in C. reuteri , apices of central processes and sensory lobes of these species also differ (figs. 27–30). Although both species have very similar structure of vesica, there are distinctions in the degree of twisting and dentation of the apex (compare figs. 2–4).

DESCRIPTION: VESTITURE: Dorsal surface covered with a mixture of brown and silverywhite long simple setae. Dark setae on head and pronotum sparse, contrastingly long and erect, spinelike, distinctly smaller and adpressed on forewings. Inner surface of antennal segment I with two dark spinelike setae; apices of all femora and foremargins of hind femora with dark spinelike setae similar to tibial spines in size and structure. Setae on legs and antennae reclining, short and pale. Ventral surface with silver setae only.

COLORATION: Dorsal surface (fig. 42) greenish, with whitish markings. Antennal segment I with indistinct brown dot at base of medial setae, other antennal segments pale, rarely apex of segment II slightly darkened. Whitish areas on head and pronotum and scutellum rounded; head with two spots on vertex, two spots adjacent to eyes and median spot on frons. Pronotum with two spots located near apical margin and four at middle. Scutellum with whitish spots basally at sides. Forewings with mosaiclike irregularly shaped whitish areas on basal part of clavus, middle part of corium, and base of cuneus. Medioapical area of corium with very small, pale brown rounded spot. Membrane transparent, slightly infuscate apically, laterally with indistinct brown rectangular spot behind apically infuscate cells. Apices of fore- and middle femora with pale brown dots. Entire ventral surface of hind femora with large pale brown spots fused into transversal stripes on foremargin. Tibiae with brown dots at bases of dark brown tibial spines. Tarsi as in fig. 37; claws as in fig. 35.

MALE GENITALIA: Left paramere (figs. 29, 30) with well-developed, contrastingly long and thin sensory lobe, apical process robust, strongly curved and somewhat dentate apically; central process large, with laterally directed hooklike apex. Right paramere (fig. 13) simple, elongate oval, with indistinct constriction at middle. Apex of theca (figs. 17, 18) straight and narrow, with nearly triangular sclerotized process. Vesica (figs. 3, 4) S-formed, apical strap densely covered with denticles, smoothly tapering, curved at middle.

STRUCTURE AND MEASUREMENTS: C. reaumuriae is the smallest species of the genus discovered to date. Total length male 1.90 (1.6–2.1), female 1.97 (1.6–2.1). Head: width male 0.59 (0.55–0.60), female 0.62 (0.58–0.65); vertex width male 0.30 (0.28–0.30), female 0.33 (0.30–0.35); antennal segment I male 0.24 (0.23–0.25), female 0.24 (0.20–0.25); antennal segment II male 1.04 (0.95–1.13), female 0.93

(0.83–0.98). Pronotum: width male 0.72 (0.65– 0.78), female 0.77 (0.70–0.80); length male 0.32 (0.28–0.35), female 0.34 (0.29–0.38).

Body stumpy in both sexes, lateral sides of forewings broadly ovate, male 2.5–2.8 X, female 2.6–2.7 X as long as width of pronotum; vertex male 2.0–2.2 X, female 2.0–2.5 X as wide as eye; antennal segment I short, male 0.6–0.8 X, female 0.7 X as long as pronotum; antennal segment II male 1.3–1.5 X, female 1.2 X as long as basal width of pronotum, male 1.7–1.9 X, female 1.4–1.5 X as long as width of head. Labium with swollen segment III and base of segment IV; reaching middle coxae. Hind femora distinctly swollen.

ETYMOLOGY: Named for its occurrence on Reaumuria .
