Comments

Cockerell considered describing C. robusta under the name “ C. wilmattae ”, as an homage to his second wife. However, this name had already been used by Cockerell (1926a) himself for a species described from Arequipa, southern Peru (see below). Moure (1969) synonymized C. robusta with C. inermis . Snelling (1984) newly proposed this synonymy, apparently ignoring Moure’s paper. Later, Roig-Alsina (2000) cited C. inermis in the synonymy of C. varia .
