Remarks: While Schultze in original species description pointed on species similarity to C. merrilli , we conclude that species is more similar to C. barsevskisi Leitāne & Rukmane , but can be easily distinguished by less rugose elytra and lack of black, longitudinal elevations between intervals of elytra
