Comment
. This is one of the Holarctic species that has a lattice-like pattern of 8-shaped pores on the dorsum and is well described by Kosztarab and Vest (1966) and Lambdin and Kosztarab (1977). The adult female of
C. deklei
is characterised by the following combination of character-states: (i) 8-shaped pores on dorsum in a latticelike pattern; (ii) 8-shaped pores on dorsum of two sizes, both quite small; (iii) larger pores restricted to near stigmatic pore bands; smaller 8-shaped pores frequent elsewhere on dorsum; (iv) cribriform plates present in a submedial group of 5–16 on each side of abdominal segment IV; (v) tubular ducts of only one size present; (vi) multilocular disc-pores absent on abdominal segments and metathorax, but occasionally present associated with spiracular disc-pores; (vii) stigmatic pore bands bifurcated; (viii) stigmatic pore bands with few spiracular discpores, and (ix) leg stubs present.
