Remarks. C. juxtata recently was suggested as a separate species on the results of DNA analysis (López- López, Abdul Aziz and Galían 2015: 6). Unfortunately the authors did not use „comb. nov.” for elevation into species rank according to ICZN and interconvert the morphological features of C. aurulenta and C. juxtata : not C. aurulenta is the larger one with bigger elytral spots, but C. juxtata .
