Diagnosis. C. hecaloides can be distinguished from other species in the genus by the crown length 0.8x or less than interocular width, aedeagus with pair of short apical tooth-like processes not longer than 1.5x median width, aedeagus shaft gracile and slightly asymmetrical, aedeagus with unpaired apical process closely paralleling or overlapping shaft, apex of unpaired process not or only gradually bent caudad and distinctly flared, dorsal side of aedeagal base relatively shallowly excavated, basal half of aedeagal shaft not parallel to caudoventral margin of base and directed more slightly dorsad, and phragma sides in caudal view bent mesad below anal tube and paralleling close to each other throughout length to bulbous base.

Material examined. The material listed in Paradell & Zahniser (2018) was also studied here.

Distribution. This species is known from Argentina (Córdoba, Entre Ríos, and Formosa Provinces).

Remarks. The purported record in Chile based on a parasitized female (Linnavuori & DeLong, 1977) is questionable, as noted in their publication. A lectotype for this, the type species of the genus, was designated by Paradell & Zahniser (2018).
