REMARKS. This is one of a group of species in
Bolivia
including
C. doxiptera
,
C. ensifera
n. sp.
,
C. gemella
,
C. hamata
n. sp.
,
C. socia
, and
C. viridicata
that are similar in size and monochromatic coloration. It can be distinguished from all but and
C. socia
by the bronzing of the distal fore wings found in the remaining species and instead having longitudinal lines within of the fore wing apical cells. It can be distinguished from
C. socia
by the anterior margin of the supra-antennal plates is smoothly curved rather than angled in the middle, the lateral angle of the pronotal collar being curved rather than at an approximate right angle, the posterior opening of the timbal cavity has a right angle on the ventral margin rather than being smoothly curved, the male opercula have a straight rather than a curved posterior margin, and the basal lobe appendage forming a C-shape rather than extending along the midline with the terminus bent at a right angle and crossing to the contralateral side of the body as they do in
C. socia
.
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported previously from
Bolivia
,
Colombia
,
Costa Rica
,
Nicaragua
,
Panama
, and
Peru
(
