propodeon is couspicuous and nearly erect, and the tubercle on the 
inner aspect of the hind femur near the base is well developed.

In the above Indian examples the wings are paler, (nearly hyaline 
in the male) the propodeal tooth low and somewhat flattened while the 
inner femoral tubercle is inconspicuous. In C. paraplesia Crawf., 
(loc. cit. p. 19, figs. 22-23) the wings in both sexes are hyaline and 
the femoral tubercle is distinct. Otherwise this Japanese form is 
extremely close to the genotype and to hilohala. C. Jtdvitarsis Cam. 
(.Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. XVII, p. 94, 23, IV. 1906) appears to 
be only a colour variation of hilohala.
