Diagnosis
(male). Anepisternum dorsally setulose, hind femur with narrow posteroventral band of tiny blunt setulae, left epandrial process with only one discernible process: a subepandrial wall extending from the hypoproct to its apex. This species is similar to
C. amazonensis
,
C. brachypoda
,
C. dasypoda
, and
C. hadrochaeta
from which it can be differentiated by its hind femur group of setulae of similar thickness and left epandrial process without any dorsal lobes.
