Type material.

Holotype. China • male; Hainan Prov., Yinggeling Nature Reserve, Nanfa Conservation Station ; 650 m; 21 Apr. 2015; Lu Qiu & Qi-Kun Bai leg.; SWU-B-BB090101 .

Paratypes. China • 11 males & 11 females; same collection data as holotype; SWU-B-BB090102 to 090123 .

Differential diagnosis.

This new species is closely related to C. tertia Mavropulo, Anisyutkin, Zagoskin, Zagoskina, Lukyantsev & Mukha, 2015 in the shape of tegmina and body color, but the former can be distinguished from the latter by the specialized abdominal terga (vs unspecialized) and the shape of sclerite L3 of male genitalia, in which L3 hook is comparatively robust and posteriorly truncate distinctly (vs comparatively slender and rounded apically in C. tertia ).

Description.

Measurements (mm). Overall length: male 22.5-27.0, female 31.0; pronotum length × width: male 5.5-6.4 × 7.8-8.2, female 6.3 × 9.1; tegmen length: male 20.6-21.8 × 7.9-8.3, female 25.7 × 9.3.

Male. Body yellowish brown (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ). Eyes black. Ocellar spots light yellow. Head black except for yellowish brown clypeo-labral area, facial part of head with weak transverse wrinkles (Fig. 3B View Figure 3 ). Pronotum yellow-brown, with densely scattered irregular brown spots (Fig. 3E View Figure 3 ). Tegmina dark yellow, punctured, with brown patches spreading along the veins (Fig. 3G View Figure 3 ). Coxa, trochanter, and femur yellowish brown; tibia and tarsomere light yellow. Abdomen and cerci blackish brown (Fig. 3B View Figure 3 ).

Vertex slightly exposed, with two longitudinal yellowish-brown bands. Distance between eyes approximately equal to the width between the antennal sockets and smaller than ocellar distance (Fig. 3B View Figure 3 ). Pronotum campaniform, widely rounded along anterolateral margins, posterior margin obtusely angled (Fig. 3E View Figure 3 ). Tegmina considerably shortened, reaching the third abdominal tergite, apex subtruncate; venation distinct, all main veins (Sc, R and CuP) present, Sc thickened (easily visible on ventral side of tegmen) (Fig. 3A, G View Figure 3 ). Wings vestigial, only reaching the first abdominal tergite. Anterior margin of fore femur Type B2, with 6 or 7 spines (Fig. 3F View Figure 3 ). Hind metatarsus not quite as long as other segments combined with two rows of spines; well-developed pulvilli on all proximal tarsomeres; claws symmetrical and simple; arolium present (Fig. 5B View Figure 5 ). Abdominal tergite 1st specialized, lip-like (Fig. 6A View Figure 6 ); terga 3rd-7th with a few knobs (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ); spiracles large, located on the posterolateral angles of tergite 8th. Supra-anal plate with the posterior margin widely rounded, a weak incision at middle. Cerci fusiform, traces of segmentation distinct. Paraprocts of blaberid type, asymmetrical (Fig. 3H View Figure 3 ). Subgenital plate entire with hind margin rounded; base of the inner plate bifurcated. Styli cylindrical (Fig. 3I View Figure 3 ).

Male genitalia. Right phallomere with caudal part of sclerite R 1 T nearly rectangular in shape, cranial part of R 1 T curved; R 2 rounded; R 3 elongate apically, curved inward, fused with sclerite R 5; R 4 plate-like, separated. Sclerite L2D divided into basal and apical parts, basal part rod-like, widened apically, with irregular apical outgrowth; apical part with fine bristles; apical membrane covered with chaetae (Fig. 3K View Figure 3 ). Sclerite L3 hooked, apically subquadrate; inner margin with a tooth-shaped convexity at apex; folded structure distinct, with bristles; Sclerite L4U present, comparatively narrow (Fig. 3L View Figure 3 ).

Female. Similar to the male. Body color lighter. Tegmina only reaching the second abdominal tergite, with apex distinctly truncated. Abdominal tergites unspecialized.

Etymology.

Derived from the Latin word maculosus, referring to the scattered with dense spots pronotum and tegmen.
