Diagnosis.

1.85 mm, 2.9 × as long as wide (Schedl 1973). This species is distinguished by the elytral apex attenuate and weakly emarginate, declivital interstriae 2 convex, declivital interstriae 1 and 3 denticulate and interstriae 2 unarmed, elytral apex deeply emarginate, declivity gradual, occupying at least posterior 50% of declivity, 1.85 mm and 2.9 × as long as wide. This species is most similar to C. exilis which lacks granules or denticles on declivital interstriae 2.

Similar species.

Remarks.

Schedl (1973) stated that the holotype was deposited in NHMB. The specimen is not there, nor in Schedl’s collection in NHMW (Schedl 1979; Wood 2007). Wood (2007) reported it from MZUSP but this is not confirmed.
