| description |
The head and thorax are black and yellow, with the wings blackish-brown and yellow. The black band on the anterior margin of the pronotum extends notably onto the posterior margin of the vertex, resulting in a thicker and more prominent band on the body. The head has the anterior margin rounded. The female pregenital sternite is about 3 times as wide as long, with the posterior margin somewhat concave on either side of a median spatulate process, with the median emargination broadly V-shaped and deep; the spatulate process is about 5 times as long as the basal width and is produced considerably beyond the posterior margin, with the sides parallel and the apex bifid. Adults are 4.5-5.0 mm long. (Beirne, 1956; Nielson, 1957)

| comments |
This species is extremely similar to C. clitellarius, and in some cases where photos are not high quality or not showing key features, an ID may not be possible. Superficial body characters can be helpful in distinguishing the two species, with furculatus more robust in size and having the claval spot on the forewings not reaching the basal apex of the scutellum (Nielson, 1957). The black band at the posterior margin of the vertex also separates this species from clitellarius, which has a largely unmarked, yellowish vertex (Beirne, 1956). |
