Common Name: Schaeffer's Beautiful Black Searcher

Notes: Gidaspow (1959) states that she did not see Hatch's type, nor could she make much of the description. I [Erwin] have compared the Holotype of C. striatus (now in NMNH) with Schaeffer's type of C. irregulare (also in NMNH) and they represent the same species.
