Diagnosis. This species resembles C. brasiliensis in the morphology of the head, scutellun, mesopectus, metapleural-propodeal complex and wings. But is easily separated from this species by the antenna of female with F2 and F3 small, subcircular (F2 to F4 small and subcircular in C. brasiliensis ), antennal club consisting of eight flagellomeres (antennal club consisting of seven flagellomeres in C. brasiliensis ); medial bridge of pronotal plate narrow (medial bridge of pronotal plate broad in C. brasiliensis ), dorsal margin of pronotal plate straight (dorsal margin of pronotal plate scarcely emarginated in C. brasiliensis ); the dorsal surface of scutellum punctate-rugose (dorsal surface of scutellum reticulate-rugose in C. brasiliensis ) and syntergum without micropunctures distally (syntergum with micropunctures distally in C. brasiliensis ) among other characters listed below.

Description. Female. ( Fig. 2a View FIGURE 2 ) Body length 1.20-1.40 mm. Color. Head, mesosoma and metasoma brown.

Dorsal surface of scutellum punctate-rugose ( Fig. 2c View FIGURE 2 , arrow; 2d). Metapleutal-propodeal complex. ( Fig. 2d View FIGURE 2 ) Posterior margin of metapleura scarcely straight in middle portion ( Fig.2d View FIGURE 2 , arrow), without carina. Wings. Apical margin of forewings almost rounded ( Fig. 2a View FIGURE 2 ). Legs. Fore and mid coxa with patch of setae dorsolaterally, hind coxa with posterodorsal row of setae. Metasoma.
