Francesco Vitali

Thank you very much!

Brett Ratcliffe

Francesco:

Bears some resemblance to C. amblyopsis. I would need to examine specimens or see the male parameres to know for sure.

Thank you very much for your answer!

Unfortunately, we have got only three females (last tarsomere I normal, last urosternite elongated).

Confronting with C. amblyopsis , I observe that all specimens show a black spot on the apical third of the lateral margin of the elytra.

This species seems to be almost variable. But can it show this feature?
