high as broad. Apodeme along anterior margin ventrally complete. 
Median apical incision deep, narrow and parallel-sided. Processus 
terminales prominent, rounded. Processus laterales prominent, 
digit-like. Hypandrium with a small, inner, distally bifurcate, 
transverse plate on median apical incision. Gonarcus rather small. 
Styli forked, inner branches extending forward, not connected to 
each other. Processus apicalis acute with a very long ventral process. 
Ventral process at least twice length of processus apicalis. In caudal 
view, parameres appearing caliper-like with long narrow ventral 
process curving slightly medially at apical ends. Penis formed of two 
small rods.

Notes: This species belongs to the C. westwoodi group. C. 
forcipata is similar to C. dorsicornis but differs in the shape of the 
hypandrium and parameres. In addition, the inner branches of the 
styli in C. dorsicornis are connected, forming an arch below the 
parameres; while in C./orci/>atatheinnerbranchesarenotconnected.
