Remarks.

The original description of C. verticalis was based on at least one specimen labeled from Cuba ( Burmeister 1847). This Cuban locality has been reported by a few authors ( Burmeister 1847, Chevrolat 1865, Blackwelder 1944), but C. verticalis does not occur in Cuba or the West Indies more broadly ( Ratcliffe and Cave 2015).
