Aedeagus structure (vesica only slightly everted) of C. ananthakrishanani, from original description by Kirti & Kaleka (1999). AED - aedeagus, CRN - coniuli, VES - vesica. Remarks. The presence of a sclerotized spine-bearing band, which envelops the aedeagus apex, distinguishes the new species from both C. transieiis and C. wilemani, where it is absent. Moreover, these two species lack the spining of the juxta characteristic of the new species. The presence of small peniculi (finger-like processes) at the bases of the transtilla is shared with C. wilemani (Figs 28, 31), though this species has them larger on a larger and more sclerotized transtilla. The valves also differ across the three species, extending beyond the uncus in C. trau- siens, but falling shoi1 of it in C. kisliidai and C. wilemani: the lateral spur is short and in the most basal position in C. transiens, but nearer the apex of the valve and longer in C. , where distinct bilateral asymmetry occurs, the right valve being longer, with the apical process longer beyond the lateral spur. In C. wilemani the lateral spur is small and very close to the apex. Acknowledgements.
