It's a pity that nobody said that to Vives. I do not understand why...

Yes, Xavier, my specimen is listed as a female paratype.

Which one has been included as paratype ? Your specimen ? |

Very interesting, but from where this specimen?
Edit : ok, north India
My specimen from Laos here has no ridge at scapus, but I am unable to see any other difference. Last antennomera is similar: flat and rounded. |

I received these images from a colleague who has collected this specimen to light...I've also requested to send close-up picture of scape, ventral aspect especially fore coxae, prosternal projection etc. same will be uploaded as soon as I receive it...as pointed out by Andreas in the personal communication, The scape of this specimen is distinct in having a ridge at apex... |

No, I only have this female, a little bit teratologic I think. |

Yes ! Your spm from Laos looks different, do you have a male ?
I'll try to get more material in Vietnam, but not easy, all are cought by light. |

From your picture here
Is it that ridge you speak about ? |

I added here 2 more pictures of my specimen female from Laos. I do not see any ridge, or I do not understand what you talk about  .
Very exciting, but hard to understand on pictures how many species we have here... |

I have prepared my spm its really a female, but yours at the other topic is maybe a different sps, I see a short ridge at the humerus, or ? (please can you check), otherwise the short antennae are remarkable different to my spms, and then we have Beckey´s male (?) from Malayasia.
- exciting altogether 
Sangamesh found a spms in north of India (maybe he can post it here too)

Ok, my specimen here from Laos is probably the same; but your specimen from Vietnam has quite long antenna for a female.

Its not C. striolatulus (Holzschuh, 2007) because "our" spms haven't the short humeral ridge (difficult to see at the left humerus at the cristulatus picture) typical for this genus, also in females, but the similarity is really quite amaizing.
I attache a female of the questionable one and a spm of C. cristulatus (Auriv., 1916) both from N-Vietnam.
