Diagnosis. Males can easily be distinguished from other species within the globuliseta- group, and other nonglobular species by the seemingly unique apically globular seta on the antennal pedicel (Fig. 7) in combination with well-developed and normally appearing thoracic and leg setae and setulae. Females have the supramedian posterior seta on the mid tibia absent, and tergite 6 as two relatively slender plates (Fig. 24), compared with females of C. flagelliseta (the only other known female in the group) that have the seta present, and tergite 6 as a broad, fused plate (Fig. 26). Males and females with preapical dorsal and anterodorsal setae on hind tibia, unlike the other species in the group.
