Distribution

This species has been recorded from Costa Rica, Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, Peru, Surinam, and Venezuela ( Monné 2015). The reported occurrences of C. cinereum in Puerto Rico and Paraguay are doubtful.

Notes

Adults of C. cinereum differ from the similar South American C. torticolle Bates, 1870 by the basal antenommere not reaching the anterior margin of the pronotum, pronotal gibbosity scarecely apparent; prosternal process not exceeding the procoxae; and middle femoral apical spines not markedly projected ( Olivier 1795, Gahan 1892). According to Martins (2004), the distinctions between C. cinereum and C. torticolle have always been problematic. (Fig. 1)
