Figs. 1 E, 4 E, 7 E, 18 A–G.

Male. Head ochraceous; eyes dark grey; area between inner margin of eye and frontal suture ochraceous with dark brown tinge. Pronotum and mesonotum dark brown. Forewing brown with hyaline costal margin, venation brown speckled with yellow. Thoracic sternites with large, fuscous and ochraceous markings (Figs. 1 E, 4 E, 7 E).

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral aspect without caudal processes, small lobe on caudodorsal margin (Fig. 18 G). Subgenital plate, long, broader medially and narrowed basally, with a few short, hair-like setae (Fig. 18 D). Style short, broad at basal ½. curved at apical ½ (Fig. 18 E). Connective as long as wide at base (Fig. 18 F). Aedeagus curved at apex in lateral view, with two subapical spine-like processes, distal process, glabrous, ¼ as long as proximal process, arising from lateral margin and directed basad, proximal process long, with four long, apical secondary spines, gonopore small, subapical, arising distad of base of proximal process (Figs. 18 A–C).

Measurements. Male 6.4 mm long, 1.7 mm wide across eyes and 1.9 mm wide across posterolateral angles of pronotum.

Material examined. HOLOTYPE ♂, INDIA: Karnataka: Belgaum: Castle Rock, 569 m, 15°25.293’ N, 74°19.734’ E, 12–13.xi.2012, ARV Kumar Coll. (UASB).

Etymology. This species is named after Dr. A.R.V. Kumar who collected the specimen.

Remarks. This species closely resembles C. neofusca sp. nov. in the structures of the male genitalia but can be easily distinguished by the unequal subapical aedeagal processes and by the proximal process bearing four long secondary spines (Fig. 18 B) compared to the subequal subapical process and the proximal process bearing a series of spines in C. neofusca (Figs. 19 A–D).
