Females with outer and inner verticals and with no separation betweenupper and lower facets of eyes. In males only inner verticals present and eyescontiguous in middle; large upper facets of eyes clearly separated from lowersmaller facets, as in C. megacephala. Easily distinguished from latter species bywhite anterior thoracic spiracles (blackish brown in C. megacephala) and bydark costal margin of wing. Length 9,9-11,5 mm.
