Both
C
.
parvulus
Blandford
and
C
.
uniseptis
Schedl
were described from unique male specimens, from Las Mercedes,
Quetzaltenango
,
Guatemala
and Córdoba,
Veracruz
,
Mexico
, respectively.
Wood (1982)
stated that
C
.
parvulus
is “virtually identical with
uniseptis
”. I have examined the primary types of
C
.
uniseptis
Schedl
(NMW),
C
.
parvulus
Blandford
(BMNH), and a high–resolution photograph of the
holotype
of
C
.
reburrus
Bright
(CNCI), previously synonymized with
C
.
uniseptis
by Wood (https://cnc.agr.gc.ca/taxonomy/Specimen.php?id=3824). Only a single species is present known from
Guatemala
, Chiapas, Veracruz, and Jalisco at low to intermediate elevations.
