B . Habitus, lateral view. Scale bars: A = 1 mm; B = 2 mm. Comment Cockerell (1919) cited a specimen also collected by M. Carriker at the type locality of C. fusciventris caurensis and C. fusciventris matoensis as a subvariety of the latter subspecies. The characters cited by him about the integument of the clypeus and the pubescence on the fourth tergum are within the variation range of C. caurensis .
