Frons of females were always parallel (Fig. 6 a). Gena narrow (Fig. 7 a). Antenna with scape of the same size as pedicel, pedicel short, first flagellomere rectangular, tapered (Fig. 8 a). The bulbous clypeus is one-third of the eye width (Fig. 7 a). Maxillary palpus short, one-sixth of proboscis length, pilose, and apically sharpened (Fig. 9 a). Proboscis shorter than head height. Scutum with sparse, short hairs and always with pair of submedial, parallel pale vittae (Fig. 10 a – b). Pleura with abundant pilosity; anepisternum completely setulose (Fig. 11 a). The wing membrane was infuscated orange and never clouded (Fig. 12 a – d). R 4 + 5 without appendix, r 5 cell open; R 4 curve forming an angle of lees of 90 ° (Fig. 12 a – d), except in C. biguttata; M 2 straight, except in C. longicauda; subcostal cell hyaline, except in C. elegans and C. hualqui, Sc and R 1 meet separated at wing margin (Fig. 13 a); cell r 2 + 3 hyaline, except in C. hualqui and C. xanthopleura; discal cell hyaline, except in C. hualqui, C. longicauda, and C. toltensis; cell bm and br hyaline, except in C. hualqui, C. longicauda, and C. xanthopleura. Abdomen pruinose dorsally convex, as wide as the thorax, with sublateral white spots on tergites 2, 3, and sometimes 4 (Fig. 14 a), except in C. hualqui and C. xanthopleura. Gonocoxite narrow and rounded, apex long; gonocoxal apodeme slightly longer than gonocoxite (Fig. 15 a); length of distal lobe of gonostylus less than a quarter of gonostylus length; distal lobe of gonostylus hooked and pointed; parameral sheath hooks downwards; parameral sheath hooks shorter than dorsal lobe of gonostylus; medial spines of hooks of parameral sheath absent, except in C. biguttata; gonostylus thick, sharp, with base rounded, dorsal area tapering towards end, curved apex (Fig. 16 a). Aedeagus short and broad; aedeagal hooks dorsally curved apically (Fig. 17 a) (Table 3). ... Continued on the next page Immature stages.
