4B1987DC8972FFEC2190FD029FF4FB83.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS and COMPARISON. This species is distinguished from congeners noted in Russia (Ozerov & Krivosheina, 2020, 2023) by the following combination of characters: postpedicel unicolor, completely black, approximately 1.5 – 2 times as long as wide; arista moderate pubescent, longest hairs exceeding greatest diameter of arista; scutellum with a pair of strong discal setae only, the apical scutellars weak, hair-like; legs completely yellow, only femora dorsally in apical half slightly darkened; fore coxa yellowish. The new species is closely related to Nearctic species C. albicoxa James, 1955 in the structure of surstyli (compare Figs 3 and 4), but is distinguished from this species by the colour of antenna and legs. C. albixoxa has " first and second antennal segments brownish yellow, the second yellow above; third black, somewhat paler at the base " and " femora, and middle and hind tibiae black " (James, 1955).	en	Ozerov, A.
