It is also similar to  C. brevicollis, known from Costa Ricaand Panama, but can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: pronotum usually with blackish spots; elytral interstices densely punctate; subcoxal lines on abdominal sternite III present.   Description.Length 1.73–2.02 (1.87) mm, width 1.44–1.65 (1.56) mm, depth 0.83–0.99 mm(0.91) ( n= 4). Male.Body ( Fig. 10D–F) round; dorsal disc of head usually dark reddish brown, rarely reddish yellow with blackish maculation on each inner margin of eye; pronotum dark reddish brown, rarely reddish yellow with 6 blackish spots;, lateral and basal margins of pronotum always paler in darker specimens; scutellum reddish yellow to dark reddish brown; elytra reddish brown to dark reddish brown, usually darker laterally than middle; antennal club dark brown except for paler apex; antennal segments I–VIII, venter, legs, and elytral epipleura reddish yellow. Head:Dorsal disc densely punctate; interspaces reticulate. Labrum feebly notched at middle. Antenna ( Fig. 14C) with club long and large, ACL/ASI-VIII = 0.80; antennal segment XI with 2 oval antennal sensillae; approximate ratio of each segment ( n= 1) 2.86: 2.33: 1.93: 1.46: 1.61: 1.00: 1.01: 1.22: 3.04: 3.03: 4.68. Pronotum:2.50–3.33 (2.93) times as wide as long ( n= 4); disc densely punctate; interspaces reticulate. Scutellum:Disc densely punctate; interspaces reticulate. Elytra:0.86–0.91 (0.90) times as long as wide ( n= 4), 2.67–3.33 (3.01) times as long as pronotum ( n= 4), widest at basal 1/3; each elytron with 9 regular rows of punctures about as large as eye facet; interstices with extremely dense, minute punctures. Venter:Prosternum feebly convex along midline. Metaventrite strongly convex. Abdominal sternite III with subcoxal lines ( Fig. 11I). Legs:slender; pro- and mesotarsal segments I to III slightly dilated; tarsal claws simple. Genitalia:Tegmen ( Fig. 14A) subparallel-sided at basal 1/2, then strongly convergent apically in ventral view; TL/TW = 1.45 ( n= 1); apical margin of tegmen rounded in ventral view; median lobe ( Fig. 14B) subparallel-sided at basal 4/5, then strongly converging anteriorly in ventral view; apical margin of median lobe widely rounded in ventral view; sclerites of internal sac as in Fig. 14B. Female.Pro- and mesotarsal segments I–III more weakly dilated than those of males. Ovipositor ( Fig. 14D) with squared apices of gonocoxites; apicolateral corners of gonocoxites widely rounded.  Variability.This species varies in the pronotal maculation. The pronotum usually has 3–6 blackish spots ( Fig. 10F). However, spots are often connected ( Fig. 10E) and sometimes the pronotal disc becomes fully blackish ( Fig. 10D); if the coloration of the pronotal disc is fully blackish, then the lateral and basal margins of the pronotum are always paler.   Distribution. Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia(Map 4). 2000-10-20 2000-10-21 2000-10-20 SEMC R.
