Identification.Large individuals, head width more than 0.62 mm; hairs of gaster coarse, not fully appressed and mostly separated by less than their own lengths; and basal groove of gaster distinct and more than twice as long as wide ( Snelling and Longino 1992).
Distribution.Similar to C. minutus, C. rimosusis also widely distributed in the Americas, its distribution ex- tends from southern United States of America, throughout Central and South America to Argentina (Buenos Aires and Mendoza) ( Kempf 1972; Fernández and Sen- doya 2004). Athorough taxonomic study needs to test whether C. rimosusis a single biological species, or whether it is a complex of cryptic species.
