Distribution. Thailand (Chaiyaphum, Chanthaburi, Chiang Mai, Kamphaeng Phet, Loei, Nakhon Nayok, Phitsanulok, Suphanburi).

Variation. Median clypeal lobe with median tooth slightly conspicuous; median carina of clypeus straight in profile; ventral projection of occipital carina incosnpicuous; notaulus incomplete; basal triangle of propodeum strongly delimited, with carina paramedian conspicuous. The specimens from Loei are smaller than another. The specimen from Chayaphum has ocelli smaller than another specimen.

Remarks. C. paruwa sp. nov. resembles C. nadaili sp. nov. by presents head elongate; ocellus and eye small; aedeagus uniformly wide; hypopygium slightly trilobate. But C. paruwa sp. nov. presents head with aspect quadrangular; uppermost tooth of mandible blunt; ventral projection of occipital carina; fovea of mesopleuron shallow.
