Remarks. Spaeth also identified part of the hispines and retained duplicates for his collection. Among them were also specimens which he was not able to identify to species, so he sent them later to Uhmann but probably without mentioning that more specimens exist in NMPC collection. As a result, C. impressa was described based on the holotype assigned to Spaeth’s collection, even though there were more specimens in NMPC.

Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ (2014) published two specimens from Nova Teutonia (Santa Cataria) as C. caerulescens ; however, based on the photograph provided by Ed Riley they were misidentified and belong to C. impressa .
