- Anterior edge of marsupial band formed by 3 or 4 contiguous rows of multilocular pores with or without submedial bare patches................................................................................................................................ 6
6 Anterior edge of marsupial band without submedial bare patches. Simple multilocular pores, each with a bilocular or trilocular centre of equal frequency, present on dorsal surface and in marginal clusters ........... .................................................................................................................................................. C. townsendi
- Anterior edge of marsupial band with submedial bare patches. Simple multilocular pores, each with a bilocular centre (rarely with a trilocular centre), present on dorsal surface and in marginal clusters............ ..................................................................................................................................................... C. morrilli

11 Hair-like setae and simple multilocular pores sparsely scattered on dorsal surface of head and thorax, forming a medial longitudinal row. Hair-like setae short (mostly 25–85 µm long) and scattered; longer setae (up to 250 µm long) restricted to marginal clusters. Setae in ovisac band with flattened to rounded bases and visible collars (Fig. 13 F) ................................................................................................ C. rileyi
