Figs. 1 E View FIGURES 1 , 4 E View FIGURES 4 , 7 E View FIGURES 7 , 18 View FIGURES 18 A–G.
Male. Head ochraceous; eyes dark grey; area between inner margin of eye and frontal suture ochraceous with dark brown tinge. Pronotum and mesonotum dark brown. Forewing brown with hyaline costal margin, venation brown speckled with yellow. Thoracic sternites with large, fuscous and ochraceous markings ( Figs. 1 E View FIGURES 1 , 4 E View FIGURES 4 , 7 E View FIGURES 7 ).
Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral aspect without caudal processes, small lobe on caudodorsal margin ( Fig. 18 G View FIGURES 18 ). Subgenital plate, long, broader medially and narrowed basally, with a few short, hair-like setae ( Fig. 18 D View FIGURES 18 ). Style short, broad at basal ½. curved at apical ½ ( Fig. 18 E View FIGURES 18 ). Connective as long as wide at base ( Fig. 18 F View FIGURES 18 ). Aedeagus curved at apex in lateral view, with two subapical spine-like processes, distal process, glabrous, ¼ as long as proximal process, arising from lateral margin and directed basad, proximal process long, with four long, apical secondary spines, gonopore small, subapical, arising distad of base of proximal process ( Figs. 18 View FIGURES 18 A–C).
Measurements. Male 6.4 mm long, 1.7 mm wide across eyes and 1.9 mm wide across posterolateral angles of pronotum.
Material examined. HOLOTYPE ♂, INDIA: Karnataka: Belgaum: Castle Rock , 569 m, 15°25.293’ N, 74°19.734’ E, 12–13.xi.2012, ARV Kumar Coll. ( UASB). GoogleMaps
Etymology. This species is named after Dr. A.R.V. Kumar who collected the specimen.
Remarks. This species closely resembles C. neofusca sp. nov. in the structures of the male genitalia but can be easily distinguished by the unequal subapical aedeagal processes and by the proximal process bearing four long secondary spines ( Fig. 18 B View FIGURES 18 ) compared to the subequal subapical process and the proximal process bearing a series of spines in C. neofusca ( Figs. 19 View FIGURES 19 A–D).
