Larval substrate: Unknown
Phenology: Adult: 7/13 (1 record)

Comment: Probably overlooked, as it is very similar to C. bidens and C. agitatellus. The broad white bar does not reach the costa except at the base, but has a similarly sharply pointed tip as in C. bidens. More importantly, however, it has a white stripe from the thorax down over the palps, which is completely lacking in the other two species.
