C. bursera - Dorsal tubercles short, stout, each with only 1 or 2 robust setae on each apex and lacking simple multilocular pores ............................................................................................................................... C. tuberculata 4 Dorsal surface densely covered with robust hair-like setae....................................................... C. mexicana - Dorsal surface scattered with slender hair-like setae .................................................................................. 5 5 Anterior edge of marsupial band formed by a single sparse row of simple multilocular pores, without bare patches ................................................................................................................................... C. tabernicola - Anterior edge of marsupial band formed by 3 or 4 contiguous rows of multilocular pores with or without submedial bare patches................................................................................................................................ 6 6 Anterior edge of marsupial band without submedial bare patches. Simple multilocular pores, each with a bilocular or trilocular centre of equal frequency, present on dorsal surface and in marginal clusters ........... .................................................................................................................................................. C. townsendi - Anterior edge of marsupial band with submedial bare patches. Simple multilocular pores, each with a bilocular centre (rarely with a trilocular centre), present on dorsal surface and in marginal clusters............ ..................................................................................................................................................... C. morrilli 7 With 1 cicatrix present..................................................................................................................................8 - With 3 cicatrices present.............................................................................................................................. 9 8 Medial to submedial derm on head and thorax with clusters of hair-like setae....................... C. colimensis - Derm on head and thorax lacking clusters of hair-like setae....................................................... C. palmeri 9 Body very small (length < 2.5 mm ). Setae and pores on dorsal surface very sparse; pores not forming a dorsal medial longitudinal row .................................................................................................... C. minima - Body not especially small (> 2.5 mm ). Setae and pores on derm not sparse; pores forming a dorsal medial longitudinal row.........................................................................................................................................10 10 Simple multilocular pores, each with a bilocular (rarely trilocular) centre, forming outer ovisac band. Setae in ovisac band very fine, with slightly flattened bases ( Fig. 5 H) ..................................... C. littoralis - Simple multilocular pores, each with a bilocular or trilocular centre, forming outer ovisac band. Setae in ovisac band robust, with very rounded, elongate bases.............................................................................11 11 Hair-like setae and simple multilocular pores sparsely scattered on dorsal surface of head and thorax, forming a medial longitudinal row. Hair-like setae short (mostly 25–85 µm long) and scattered; longer setae (up to 250 µm long) restricted to marginal clusters. Setae in ovisac band with flattened to rounded bases and visible collars ( Fig. 13 F) ................................................................................................ C. rileyi - Hair-like setae and simple multilocular pores densely covering dorsal surface of entire body, pores and setae most densely distributed in medial and submarginal longitudinal rows. Hair-like setae around margin and on dorsal surface very long (up to 450 µm long). Setae in ovisac band with very rounded bases, collars not visible ........................................................................................................................ C. genistae
