( Fig. 48 )

Material examined. “ Lebanon, Salima (2), Pinus pinea ecosyst. 07/06/1997, Masri , Routier, Nemer, ref12C, IIE 23988” (1, PCNN) .

Remarks. The only available specimen is a male with broken legs and antennae. It probably represents a new species with atrophied wings similar to C. schuberti Platia & Gudenzi, 2002 . More material should be examined to make a conclusion about its status.
