This study analyzed the morphological characteristics of C. brunnea adults that allow for sexual differentiation. Sensilla trichodea, spatulate setae and lanceolate setae were found on the antennae, tarsi and tibiae apex, respectively, with no difference between sexes. Females of C. brunnea have a longer and wider body, as well as a longer fifth urosternite compared to males. The shape of the fifth urosternite allows for sex differentiation in C. brunnea adults.
本研究分析了允许进行性别分化的褐胸扁谷盗成虫的形态特征。在触角、跗节和胫节顶端分别发现了毛形感器、匙形刚毛和披针形刚毛，两性之间无差异。与雄性相比，褐胸扁谷盗雌性具有更长更宽的身体，以及更长的第五腹板。第五腹板的形状有助于褐胸扁谷盗成虫的性别分化。
