Frontoclypeal suture feebly elevated and weakly curved; smooth area in front of eye 1.5 time as wide as long, ocular canthus long and slender, with few short setae. Punctures on frons vanishing under thick opaque tomentum, only recognizable by their long erect setae. Antenna yellow, 10-segmented; club in male 4-segmented, a trifle longer than combined lengths of remaining segments, seventh segment one-third shorter than club, in female 3-segmented, a trifle shorter than combined lengths of remaining segments. Eyes small, ratio diameter/interocular width: 0.5 (,).</p> <p>Pronotum transverse, widest at base, lateral margin straightly convergent from base to middle, at middle strongly curved, anteriorly behind bluntly rounded, not protudent anterior angles almost straight, anterior margin straight; general shape similar to that of C. tigrina, but sides only posteriorly feebly sinuate before obtusely rounded hind angles; disc with shallow punctation, double erect pilosity directed forward, mixed short and two times longer setae.

Anterior tibia short, bidentate, external border with a blunt median extension.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>The species is externally similar to C. brendelli Ahrens, 1999. It differs by ratio of length of first metatarsomere with the combined lengths of the second and third metatarsomeres. C. bertiae n. sp. (Sikkim) and C. lachungensis n. sp. seem closely related because of their similar features of male genitalia. They differ from each other by size of parameres and aedeagus, both can be distinguished from the genitalitary very similar C. brendelli Ahrens, 1999 by the shorter parameres (Fig. 2) (Ahrens 1999: 187, figs 6-8).</p> <p>Female unknown.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/652887C7B357BF7058588999FCF71E95	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
