Types.

Holotype ♂ of C. vitracelis at MNHN ( Dechambre 1999). Holotype ♀ of C. pseudoisabellina in André Gaudaíre-Thore Collection (Sens, France) ( Endrődi 1980). Lectotype ♂ of C. frontalis at MNHN ( Dechambre 1991b). Type of C. laevicauda at BMNH ( Endrődi 1966). Endrődi (1966) mentioned a specimen of C. mutata at MNHN could be important for the nomenclatural stability of this species, but he noted that this specimen was not a type.

Remarks.

C. mutata is listed as occurring in Colombia (Cauca) by Gasca-Álvarez and Deloya (2016), citing the data of Endrődi (1966). Endrődi (1966) considered this taxa as an “ab.” (infrasubspecific entity) of C. sanguinicollis . The Endrődi (1966) data from Colombia may refer to C. sanguinicollis and should be reevaluated.
