Remarks
. Bates (1872) described
C. nitida
from
Nicaragua
. Fragoso (1982) was the first who recorded this species in South
America
(
Colombia
). Monné & Giesbert (1994) reported the species from
Mexico
to
Colombia
. Martins & Monné (2005) recorded the species to southeast
Brazil
. Currently the species is recorded from
Mexico
(Oaxaca, Chiapas, Veracruz, Quintana Roo),
Honduras
,
Guatemala
,
Nicaragua
,
Costa Rica
,
Panama
,
Ecuador
,
Colombia
,
Brazil
(Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná) (Monné 2016). We examined a male/female pair from
Ecuador
and a male from
Bolivia
(
new country record
).
The couple from
Ecuador
has the prothorax with a very distinct spine laterally (
Figs. 13–14
). Notwithstanding, we think they do not belong to a different species, even having the scape more coarsely punctate than all specimens from
Panama
and southeast
Brazil
examined by us. The same variation (presence or absence of lateral spine at prothorax) was found in
C. rufosemivittata
(see above).

Ecuador
