 Remarks. Specimens are most often collected while sweeping brush, especially

Artemisia spp. This beetle seems to occupy a similar niche to that of C. randalli, which

is often collected in the same areas and on the same plants. While the distribution of this

beetle is quite extensive, it does not seem to occur east of the Mississippi River.
