Distribution: Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Brazil (MG, ES, RJ, SP, PR, SC, RS new rec.).

Remarks: C. teter presents a combination of morphological characteristics that makes it recognizable among the others species of the subgenus, the rounded outline of the head without the projections of C. emarginatus , the number of setigerous punctures of pronotal lateral submargin (16–18) and on the costa (5–7) ( Fig 1F ) and the labium apex reaching posterior coxae. First record for Ecuador in Froeschner (1981).
