( Plate 2A View PLATE 2 , Fig. 76-82 View Figures 76-82 )

Description. Length. Male 8.40-8.70 mm., female unknown.

External morphology. Moderately large, slightly slender species. General color light brown in holotype (dark brown to black in paratypes) with dark brown markings on forewings and mesonotum, veins of forewings with small, yellow stripes; crown brown; eyes black; face yellow, inner margins of clypeus with suffused brown stripe; head distinctly narrower than pronotum, anterior margin obtusely rounded; crown short, broad, about as wide as width of eyes, slightly produced anteriorly beyond margin of eyes, lateral margins convergent basally; pronotum large, longer medially than crown, surface bullated; mesonotum large, about half longer than pronotum; clypeus long, narrow, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus short, about 1/3 as long as clypeus, narrow, slightly inflated basally, flared laterally in apical half.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view narrowly triangulate, tapered in distal 1/3, small lobe apically, moderately long, digitate process on caudoventral margin, glabrous ( Fig. 76 View Figures 76-82 ); aedeagus long, narrow, tubular, with short, subapical row of very short setae on lateral margin in dorsal view, gonopore distad of middle of shaft ( Fig. 77, 78 View Figures 76-82 ); style with moderately long apophysis ( Fig. 79, 80 View Figures 76-82 ); dorsal connective long, narrow, attached to side of shaft in dorsal view ( Fig. 77, 78 View Figures 76-82 ); connective large, anterior arms broadly tapered distally, medial ridge incomplete, stem small, short, digitate ( Fig. 81 View Figures 76-82 ); subgenital plate long, broad, large setose spine apically ( Fig. 82 View Figures 76-82 ).

Material examined. Holotype male. Laos-NE: Hua Phan prov., 20 o 12’N 104 o 01’E., Phu Phan Mt. , 1500-1900 m., 17 v.-3 vi. 2007, Vit Kuban, leg. / Entomological expedition, “Laos 2007”, Moravian Museum, Brno, Czech Republic ( MMBC) GoogleMaps . Paratypes, 1 male, LAOS-C: Kham Mouan prov., 19-31 v. 2001, 18 o 07’N 104 o 29’E., Ban Khoun Hgeun , 200 m., L. Dembicky, leg. / Entomological expedition, “Laos 2001”, Moravian Museum, Brno, Czech Republic ( MMBC) GoogleMaps ; 1 male, LAOS ; Khammouan prov., 24-29 iv. 2001, 18 o 07’N 104 o 29’E., Ban Khoun Ngeun, 200m., Vit Kuban, leg. ( MLBM) GoogleMaps .

Etymology. The name of the species is descriptive for the very large apical spine on the subgenital plate.

Remarks. The species is nearest to C. ordospinosa and is distinguished by the slender aedeagal shaft (inflated basally in C. ordospinosa ) and by the narrower tapered caudodorsal margin of the pygofer.
