Material examined

. Russia: Primorsky-Krai: Khasansky-District, Barabash, 43°10'46.9"N, 131°28'20.0"E, 61 m, 22.VI.2008, H.Y. Han and H.S. Lee, 3♂ (YSUW); Nadezhdinsky-District, Vol’no-Nadezhdinskoye, grassland near restaurant, 43°22'31.6"N, 132°01'43.1"E, 61m, 22.VI.2008, H.Y. Han and H.S. Lee, 3♂ (YSUW).

Diagnosis.

This is the darkest species of the misella group, showing the least wing dimorphism (Fig. 7G, I, J vs. K). Head largely brown with dark grey upper occiput. Thorax with dark grey scutum with five brownish longitudinal stripes (Fig. 7H); scutellum dark grey; Legs with coxae and femora largely dark grey but tibiae and tarsi brown; fore femur with 5-7 dark brown posteroventral setae. Wing almost entirely brown to dark brown with numerous hyaline spots; male with large dark mid-anterior marking covering from pterostigma to posterior end of crossvein R-M; male pterostigma almost completely dark brown, at most with tiny hyaline spot (Fig. 7I-a); female pterostigma with larger hyaline spot (Fig. 7K-a); cell r1 posterior to pterostigma with three large hyaline spots in both sexes; cell r2+3 with posteroapical hyaline spot (Fig. 7I-b). Abdomen almost entirely dark grey.

Distribution.

North east China, the Russian Far East.

Remarks.

Hering’s (1941) original description and wing drawing of the holotype from north east China fall clearly within the variation range of the specimens we obtained from the Russian Far East. Unfortunately, we were not able to collect any female specimens, but Korneyev and Ovchinnikova’s (2004) illustrations (Fig. 7J, K) show a similar sexual dimorphism of the wing pattern as in the other misella group species. Individuals of C. melaena have DNA barcodes (Figs 1, 2) indistinguishable from those of C. paramelaena sp. nov. (see the Remarks of the latter species for further discussion).
