Among Nearctic species, C. auriculata (Fig. 3 A, B) resembles C. aperta (Fig. 2 E, F) and C. simplicis (Fig. 2 A, B). It differs from C. aperta e.g. by having a wholly setose intercoxal lobe, without a non-setose medial stripe; by having most of the lateral setae of gonostylus longer than the gonostylar megasetae, as long as the gonostylus is wide instead of much shorter; by having a sharp tooth at the lateral margin of tegmen instead of a more rounded prominence; and by having the lateral margin of the tegmen between the base of the apodemes and the tooth straight or slightly convex and converging towards ... : Published as part of Vilkamaa, Pekka & Hippa, Heikki, 2007, Review of the Nearctic Claustropyga Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig (Diptera, Sciaridae) with the description of three new species, pp. 53-68 in Zootaxa 1552 on pages 57-60, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.178159 ...
