slightly on the posterior tibia; tarsal claws simple. Wings with a transverse 
fuscous cloud extending from the middle to near the tip; apical half of anterior 
margin of fore wing ciliate, the hairs longer basally, and very minute at tip; 
vein extending to the basal third; both stigmata pale brown. 
Type from Juan Fernandez’, collected in Masatierra, by K. BACKSTROM; 
in the collection of Royal Museum of Natural History of Stockholm. 
This species is most easily distinguished by the non-carinate and elongate 
propodeum with gently declivous posterior face. These characters serve also 
to separate it from C. meridionalis Bréthes, known from South America, where 
Bréthes obtained it as a parasite of the cosmopolitan S7/vanus surinamensis 
living in stored grain.
