ing peculiarities when compared with the known subspecies of Ch. diaphanus: the presence of lateral outgrowths on all but the first and second thoracic segments in females, their approximately uniform size on
most of these segments, as well as somewhat smaller
size of the outgrowths on the last segment. Besides,
it is characterized by the presence of dorsolateral and
ventrolateral prolongations covered with papillae on
the abdominal segments in females. Furthermore, it
is characterized by the appearance of the second pair
of antannae in males, namely by the appearance of a
thornlike outgrowth at the base of the distal article of
the antennae, which at its base, has a round elevation
covered with thorns, as well as by the appearance of
the apophysis at the base of the genital organ.
Taking into consideration the specific morphological characteristics of this form, to get a more accurate
estimation of its taxonomical position, it would be necessary to carry out an electronic-microscopic analysis
of eggs and appendage structure.
