( Figs 4 View FIGURE 4 , 6D View FIGURE 6 , 10D View FIGURE 10 , 12C View FIGURE 12 , 13N View FIGURE 13 , 15D View FIGURE 15 , 45 View FIGURE 45 )

Type material. Male holotype: Indonesia. Maluku Utara Province, Obi Latoe [Obi I.], Snellius Exp., 23–27.IV.1930 ( RMNH) . Paratypes (2♀): Indonesia. Maluku Utara Province, Obi [Obi I.], 1904, 1♀, Rolle ( ZIN) ; [Obi I.], Doherty, 1♀, ex coll. Fruhstorfer ( MHNG) .

Type locality. Indonesia, Obi Island .

Etymology. Named after the type locality.

Distribution. Indonesia, Obi Island.

Diagnosis. Species of average to large size, close to C. manus Otte, 2007a by the male genitalia but differing by coloration (male and female FWs, lateral lobes of pronotum mostly dark brown) and details of male genitalia.

Description. Size average to large for the species group, shape stocky ( Fig. 45A–D View FIGURE 45 ). General coloration contrasted. Head dorsum almost entirely dark brown ( Fig. 6D View FIGURE 6 ), with 4 wide brown bands almost fused together separated by faint yellow lines; fastigium dark brown; yellow lines posterior to eyes. Scapes yellow brown, with a dark brown ring; rest of antennae orange brown. Front part of fastigium yellow with 2 dark brown spots. Face and mouthparts yellowish to brown, with a transverse dark brown band bellow antennae and a yellow band bellow eyes. Lateral side of head mostly dark brown dorsally, progressively lighter ventrally; eyes underlined by a yellow line ventrally. Pronotum: Dorsal disk almost homogeneously brown, anterior corners yellow, posterior edge dark brown. Lateral lobes mostly dark brown, ventral margin yellowish. Legs almost homogeneously orange brown, FIII knees darker. Hind wing tail dark brown with yellow transverse veins. Cerci light brown faintly mottled with brown. Abdomen mostly dark, with yellow stripes laterally. Subgenital plate yellow brown.

Male: FW coloration dark brown with the following whitish areas ( Fig. 10D View FIGURE 10 ): base of FWs including bases of anal veins and CuA, wide transverve band posterior to mirror, part of chords, 1A(file) and harp veins. Orange brown sclerotized area near base of chords. M and R orange brown, the area between dark brown; Sc orange brown, its projections whitish, the membrane between them dark brown. FW venation ( Fig. 10D View FIGURE 10 ): 1A clearly bisinuated. CuP absent. Harp with 2 w-shaped veins, and a small straight anterior one. Mirror area: mirror (d1) oval, distinct, crossed at 2/3 by a transverse vein; d2 not distinct. Apical field with 4 cell alignments posterior to mirror (n = 1). Lateral field with 9 projections of Sc and 4 more ventral veins.

Male genitalia ( Fig. 45E–G View FIGURE 45 ): Pseudepiphallus as in C. manus , shaped as a wide gutter. Apex of dorsal ridges with short setae, carinated innerly and folded laterally, the lateral triangular expansions clearly asymmetrical, the left one larger and more posterior, the right one smaller and more anterior. Dorsal ridges almost convex in lateral view. Pseudepiphallic sclerite with wide rectangular anterior expansions, slightly divergent, the membrane between them with thin setae. Rami with large preapical rectangular plates and with short globular convergent apical stems. Posterior pseudepiphallic apex rounded, with a triangular translucent area. Pseudepiphallic parameres with posterior arms thin and curved laterally. Ectophallic arc complete, curved posteriorly, without posterior expansion. Ectophallic fold with thin lateral sclerites; apex trilobate, membranous, median lobe oval. Endophallic sclerite small, with a wide posterior expansion. Endophallic apodeme with a short dorsal crest and lateral lamellas. Membrane of endophallic cavity smooth.

Female: Base of tegmina yellow; dorsal field variable, one specimen with practically uniform brown coloration (ZIN) with only one lateral yellowish spot, the other female specimen with an additional yellowish elongate pattern in anterior part of tegmina (MHNG) ( Fig. 12C View FIGURE 12 ); lateral field of tegmina with proximal branches of Sc and crossveins between them yellowish white, distal branches of Sc and membranes between all Sc branches light brown (however R, stem of Sc, and area between them brown, as in female of C. buru n. sp.); tegminal venation with 11–12 longitudinal veins in dorsal field and with 8–9 branches on Sc and distinctly less numerous crossveins in lateral field. Ovipositor approximately equal or shorter to hind femur in length, its apex slightly denticulate on both dorsal and ventral edges ( Fig. 13N View FIGURE 13 ).

Female genitalia ( Fig. 15D View FIGURE 15 ): Copulatory papilla longer than wide, trapezoidal, with elongate and basal sclerites mostly on dorsal side; apex elongate, not rounded, slightly sclerotized, folded ventrally.

Juvenile: Unknown.

Measurements. Length in mm. Body: male 27.2, female 21–32.2; body with wings: male 34.2, female 31–41.7; pronotum: male 3.5, female 3.3–4.2; tegmina: male 20, female 18–23.5; hind femora: male 22.8, female 19–24.2; ovipositor 17.5–18.5.

Habitat and life history traits. Unknown.

Behavior. Unknown.
