Diagnosis. Belonging in species group “2”, subgroup 4, in the classification of Eertmoed (1986). Unlike C. prionotus , the epiproct has a slender, pointed sclerotized projection in the middle, near the posterior border. It differs from C. deliciasensis n. sp., C. garciai , C. multimaculatus and C. gregoriorum n. sp., in having the paraproctal prong with a small tooth mesally ( Fig. 45 ).

Color. Head ( Fig. 43 ) dark brown, anteclypeus and labrum pale brown. Compound eyes dark brown, ocelli hyaline. Antennae brown, flagellomeres with clear distal ends; maxillary palps pale brown. Meso- and metanotum light brown, with dark brown areas; thoracic pleura and legs light brown. Forewing membrane hyaline, with slightly smoked spots, mainly in pterostigma; wing margin with pale brown spots between the ends of R2+3 and Cu1a, with two spots between the ends of Cu1a and Cu1b ( Fig. 41 ); veins brown, with a brown spot at wing margin on R1 to Cu1a. Hindwing hyaline with a smoked spot on vein ends, and one spot on wing margin between M and Cu1 ( Fig. 42 ). Abdomen cream, clunium and hypandrium pale brown; epiproct cream, paraproct smoked, paraproctal prong brown, apically more pigmented.

Morphology. As in diagnosis plus the following: Head ( Fig. 43 ) with vertex slightly concave in the middle; compound eyes large, their upper border slightly surpassing the level of the vertex ( Fig. 43 ): D is 60% the length of the head front view; with interommatidial setae. Forewing ( Fig. 41 ); membrane of pterostigma with setae, veins without spur veins. Hypandrium ( Fig. 46 ) broad, distally rounded, with abundant medium sized setae and lateral macrosetae. Epiproct trapeziform, with two setae mesally and abundant medium sized setae posteriorly. Paraprocts ( Fig. 45 ) with mesal tubercle little developed, with setae as illustrated; sensory fields with 16 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Phallosome narrower anteriorly, with well sclerotized areas, external parameres elongate, membranous, bearing pores; endophallic lobes broad, distally narrow, pointed; arms of aedeagal arch separate, well sclerotized, about seven times as long as wide, distally pointed ( Fig. 47 ).

Abdomen cream, tergites with pale brown narrow bands, clunium and hypandrium pale brown; epiproct cream, paraproct cream, with tubercle pale brown, paraproctal prong dark brown, distally more pigmented.

Morphology. As in diagnosis plus the following: head vertex slightly concave, upper border of compound eyes slightly surpassing the level of the vertex ( Fig. 50 ); D is 58% the length of the head in front view, almost as wide as the interocular distance (1.16); with interommatidial setae. Forewings ( Fig. 48 ); membrane of pterostigma with setae, M veins with spur veins. Hypandrium ( Fig. 53 ) shield-shaped, broad, anteriorly concave, distally rounded, with medium sized setae and lateral macrosetae. Epiproct ( Fig. 51 ) with three macrosetae mesally and four macrosetae distally, with abundant medium sized setae distally. Paraprocts ( Fig. 52 ) with mesal prong stout, strongly sclerotized, distally forked, with arms acuminate; sensory fields with 18 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Phallosome narrower anteriorly, little sclerotized, with rounded, membranous external parameres without pores; endophallic lobes broad, membranous; arms of internal parameres separate, long slender ( Fig. 54 ).

Diagnosis. Belonging in species group “1”, subgroup 1, in the classification of Eertmoed (1986). Forewings with abundant spur veins; paraproctal tubercle enlarged, but without a distinct “thumb”, that makes it different from C. ramulosus and C. arboricola. Unlike C. eertmoedi n. sp. and C. uncinatus , it has a single, acuminate paraproctal prong ( Fig. 59 ) and the epiproct has a short, distally concave projection ( Fig. 58 ).

Hindwing hyaline, with a smoked spot on vein ends, and on wing margin between M and Cu1 ( Fig. 56 ). Abdomen cream, with light brown bands, clunium and hypandrium pale brown; phallosome brown; epiproct cream, with central-posterior border brown; paraprocts cream, with paraproctal prong dark brown distally.

Morphology. As in diagnosis plus the following: Head vertex straight, almost at the same level with the upper border of the compound eyes ( Fig. 57 ); D is 53% the length of the head in front view, almost as wide as the interocular distance (0.95); with interommatidial setae. Forewings ( Fig. 55 ); membrane pterostigma without setae, with one spur vein. Hypandrium ( Fig. 60 ) broad, distally rounded, anteriorly concave, with abundant medium sized setae and six subapical macrosetae. Epiproct with posterior projection concave, postero-lateral corners rounded; two macrosetae mesally, and four latero-distal macrosetae, with field of medium sized setae distally as illustrated ( Fig. 58 ). Paraprocts ( Fig. 59 ) with mesal process little developed, with medium sized setae and macrosetae as illustrated; mesal prong stout, strongly sclerotized, curved and distally acuminate; sensory fields with 19 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Phallosome slightly sclerotized, piriform, external parameres rounded, membranous, bearing pores; endophallic lobes broad, diverging posteriorly; arms of internal parameres long, slender, separate, with a wide, pigmented transverse area between them ( Fig. 61 ).
