Comments: Taxonomic decision for synonymy: Snelling (1984, only between these species). This species was included in the subgenus C. ( Melanocentris) by Snelling (1984) and in C. ( Aphemisia) by Moure et al. (2007). Actually, C. agilis is closely related with some species of the subgenus C. ( Paracentris) sensu Zanella (2002).
