Remarks: As stated by
Fjellberg (1985
, p. 43), these records “belong to a complex with several Nearctic forms/species, both described and undescribed, which are all poorly known and distinguished by rather small and dubious characters”.
Babenko & Fjellberg (2006)
speculate that some of these forms, northern ones in particular, may be conspecific with
C. czelnokovi
, a widespread and highly variable East Palaearctic species (see also
Babenko
et al.
2017
).
General distribution: Nearctic.
