FIGS 2C View Figure 2 , 16A – K View Figure 16
Type specimens. Holotype: ♂, [ Philippines], Mindoro , Subaan (Matang) ( SNSD).
Paratypes: [ Philippines] , 2♀♀, same as holotype ( SNSD) .
Etymology. The new species is named after Dr J urgen € Deckert, curator of the collection Hemimetabola at the Museum f ur € Naturkunde, Berlin, in recognition of his kindest help and support for the first author when he visited MFNB in 2014.
Diagnosis. This species may be distinguished from C. cuspidataa sp. nov. by the phallobase with lateral lobes distinctly longer and a pair of additional lateral lobes directed anteriorly.
Description. BL, ♂ 17.4 mm, ♀ 16.7 – 17.0 mm; HL, ♂ 2.9 mm, ♀ 1.7 – 1.8 mm; HW, ♂ 1.2 mm, ♀ 1.3 – 1.4 mm; TL, ♂ 12.8 mm, ♀ 13.6 – 13.9 mm.
Cephalic process in lateral view elongate, distinctly longer than length from anterior margins of eyes to posterior margin of vertex; slightly upturned and ascending at about 10° ( Fig. 16B View Figure 16 ). Vertex relatively broad, posterior margin nearly as wide as transverse diameter of eyes; in dorsal view ratio of length to width between eyes about 3.6: 1 ( Fig. 16A View Figure 16 ); lateral carinae moderately constricted and moderately curved upwards in front of eyes ( Fig. 16A View Figure 16 ). Fore femora with a minute spine near apex; hind tibiae with seven lateral spines; hind tarsomeres I with 12 or 13 apical teeth and tarsomeres II with 11 or 12 apical teeth.
Male genitalia with pygofer in lateral view broad and high, with ratio of ventral to dorsal width about 3.4: 1; posterior process near middle short and small, acute apically ( Fig. 16F View Figure 16 ). Gonostyles ( Fig. 16F, H View Figure 16 ) relatively small, apex bluntly rounded; upper process large and stout, obtuse apically. Aedeagus ( Fig. 16I – K View Figure 16 ) large, endosomal processes extended posteriorly and curved dorsoanteriorly ( Fig. 16G View Figure 16 ); phallobase sclerotized and pigmented at base, membranous and inflated apically, with one pair of lateral lobes long and thumb-like, directed laterally, pair of ventral lobes slender and thumblike, directed posteriorly, and pair of additional lateral lobes short and robust, directed anteriorly ( Fig. 16I View Figure 16 ). Segment X in dorsal view large, projecting at an angle on each side; apical ventral margin projecting a triangular process ( Fig. 16E View Figure 16 ), with ratio of length to width near middle about 1.5: 1 ( Fig. 16D View Figure 16 ). Distribution. Philippines (Mindoro).
