Type material. Holotype: INDONESIA: Sumatra: Palembang ( MHNB). 1 ♀ ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 26 – 27 ).

Diagnosis. Smaller in size than C. armandi sp. nov.; having on dorsal surface of head and pronotum dotty microsculpture consisting of the completely ring-like and densely situated punctures; clypeus shorter, scutellum shorter; meso- and metatibiae straight.

Description. Body size: 2.6 mm long, 1.6 mm wide. Upper and lower surface with microsculpture and not brightly shining ( Figs. 1–2 View FIGURES 1 – 4 ). Punctures of head and pronotum shallow, large in size (about 0,0 2 mm), disposed closer to each other than their diameter ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 5 – 12 ). Clypeus short: about 4× width as long, lateral edges obliqued ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 5 – 12 ); its middle portion of the apex is not elevated ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 5 – 12 ). Pronotum evenly rounded in base ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 5 – 12 ), with reduced medial fovea and two lateral foveae near the base (probably, this character may be variable).
