Remarks.
The taxonomic history of the species and the validity of
C. brasilianorum
were reviewed recently (
Sanborn 2016c
). The generic characters can be used to distinguish it from other
Suriname
species as it is the only species of the genus represented in
Suriname
. The head and thorax of the species are green (often fading to tawny) heavily marked with piceous and testaceous, the abdomen is tawny and ferruginous with transverse piceous fasciae on the tergites, and body lengths of 24.5–34.0 mm.
Distribution.
