Remarks: There is no significant difference between C. granulosa and C. fortecostata in external characters, however, apex of the aedeagus of C. granulosa is more dilated and is generally wider and robust.

Chaetocnema granulosa can easily be confused for C. fortecostata due to the similarity of external characters. There were numerous museum specimens of C. fortecostata labeled as C. granulosa .
