Pakistan, Sindh Prov. • 5♀; Surriya, Riffat; 23 Aug. 2020; Sanghar 26.0436°N, 68.9480°E.

Description.

Medium size. Colouration yellow (Fig. 1P). Head short, narrow, yellowish shiny, adorned on each side with dark brown line extending from occiput, along eye (Fig. 3E). Pronotum as wide as long, barely widening anteriorly with two dark spots on dorsal field (Fig. 5F). Elytra reduced. No wings (Fig. 10C). Legs yellowish, strongly pubescent. Anterior tibia perforated with oval tympanum on external face. Posterior femora rather thick, brown with rufous base, posterior tibia armed with six long external, four various medio-internal spines (Fig. 7C). Abdomen yellow with dark spots on each tergite. Ovipositor long, straight, slender (Fig. 1P).

Female: LH 2.1 (mm), LP 2.8 (mm), LT 03 (mm), LF 12 (mm), LT 10 (mm), LO 14 (mm), TBL 17 (mm).

Ecology.

This species was previously reported by Saeed (2000) from Triticumaestivum in Pakistan. We reported the female from Dactylocteniumaegyptium grasses.

Global distribution.

India (this study), Pakistan (Saeed et al. 2000).

Remarks.

During this study, we have reported five females from Sanghar District which are a new record for Sindh province. Our thorough examination shows that this species is similar to C.ovilongus with the exception of a dark slanting band between the compound eyes, and the size of ovipositor: C.saeedi has a smaller ovipositor which is ca. 14 mm while C.ovilongus has a longer ovipositor, ca. 18–20 mm. In addition, the elytra of this female are quite different from those of C.ovilongus.
