Type material.

Holotype, ♂, China: Guizhou Province, Bijie City , Weining County, Caohai Reserve , 3 July 2017, coll. Caohai expedition team ( GUGC). Paratype , 3 ♂♂, 6 ♀♀ same information as holotype. 2 ♂♂, CHINA: Yunnan Province, Yuxi City , Xinping County, 21 July 2018, coll. Xian-yi Wang ( GUGC) .

Diagnosis.

The new species is similar to C. harpagota Zhang, 1994, but differs in having the style apophysis with a subapical spur and the aedeagal shaft with angular projection on the ventral margin in lateral view and with two slender subapical processes.

Description.

Middle-sized species. Body length (including tegmina): male, 7.2-7.8 mm, female, 7.9-8.4 mm.

Coloration. Ground color brown. Crown yellow with two pairs of brown spots medially, ocelli black (Fig. 14 View Figures 14–23 ). Face (Fig. 16 View Figures 14–23 ) with clypeus and clypellus black; area between laterofrontal sutures and eye yellow. Pronotum (Fig. 14 View Figures 14–23 ) dark brown, with yellow markings. Mesonotum (Fig. 14 View Figures 14–23 ) with basal triangles and one round spot on either side of median line anterior to scutoscutellar suture, black. Venation black, with numerous, small, brown spots. Legs (Fig. 15 View Figures 14–23 ) dark brown to black.

Morphology. Head narrower than pronotum, anterior margin broadly obtuse; crown as wide as diameter of one eye, produced anteriorly beyond eyes; ocelli on anterior margin of crown; coronal suture extending to level of ocelli (Fig. 14 View Figures 14–23 ); clypeus (Fig. 16 View Figures 14–23 ) flat, narrow, laterally expanded under antennal sockets, apex constricted, base inflated longitudinally, apically with lateral margins expanded. Pronotum (Fig. 14 View Figures 14–23 ) surface bullate. Mesonotum (Figs 14 View Figures 14–23 , 15 View Figures 14–23 ) nearly as long as pronotum.

Male genitalia. Pygofer with caudal lobe (Fig. 17 View Figures 14–23 ) broadly triangular in lateral view. Subgenital plate (Fig. 19 View Figures 14–23 ) long with base slightly broad, sparsely setose apically. Style (Figs 20 View Figures 14–23 , 21 View Figures 14–23 ) well developed, base expanded, apex bilobed, with a subapical short spur. Connective (Fig. 18 View Figures 14–23 ) Y-shaped with stem short. Aedeagal shaft (Figs 22-23 View Figures 14–23 ) sinuated, ventral margin in lateral view with angular projection slightly distad of half length, curved apically in lateral view, apex with group of spines, with two subapical retrose processes arising on same side, distal process about twice as long as proximal one, with outer margin, serrate proximal process glabrous; gonopore large, subapical, situated laterally more proximal than proximal process.

Etymology.

The new species name is derived from the words " quadri " and " macula ", referring to the scutellum with four black plaques.
