Diagnosis and Notes
There is some confusion as to the identity
of this species. The figure given by Edwards (1939) of the male genitalia
leaves little doubt that he was looking at reconditus, but Borkent
& Wirth (1997) list it as a separate species. I am inclined to follow
Edwards’ interpretation and accordingly refer the reader to C.
reconditus.
For figures, see C. reconditus.
