Comments. This species was erroneously synonymized with C. koehleri Blanchard, 1940 by ANNECKE & MYNHARDT (1974). Specimens of C. koehleri have a wider clavus almost 3× as long as broad, while in C. uruguayensis it is 4.3× as long as broad. Mid tibia of C. uruguayensis with the apical 0.2–0.25 yellow, while in C. koehleri mid tibia is completely dark; the postmarginal vein is not developed in C. uruguayensis , while in C. koehleri it is indicated. TACHIKAWA (1968) adequately illustrated differences between these species, and therefore we restitute C. uruguayensis as a valid species.
