Material examined: India: West Bengal Neora valley National Park, Suntalekhola Biodiversity Camp (W.B), 700 m, 27°00.789’N, 88°47.094’E, 27-ix-2018, 3♂♂, 1♀, Pathania, P.C. & Pandher, M.S. (ZSI).
Diagnosis: As per the observations of Kimmins (1964) in the original description of C. nepalensis, it is similar to the C. khasia Kimmins, 1957. Further, C. nepalensis is similar to C. fenestrata Kimmins, 1964 and C. pupi Pandher & Saini, 2012. It is more similar to C. fenestrata in the shape of male genitalia. But in C. nepalensis the membranous mesal lobes of tergum X are much extended, almost reaching beyond 2/3 of the sclerotized lateral lobes of tergum X whereas, the membranous mesal lobes of tergum X are short and reaching almost to the middle of the sclerotized lateral lobes of tergum X in C. fenestrata.
Distribution: Nepal and India (West Bengal).
