(2010) (<i>i.e</i>., pointed glossa, short galea, all labial palpus segments with similar length, head wider than long, wing shape, enlarged hind basitarsus, terga generally without apical hair bands; Figs. 1, 2). It is therefore unclear how the described erroneous transfer of the species to <i>Scrapter</i> happened in Michez <i>et al</i>. (2010).

Fortunately, <i>C. diversipes</i> turned out to be a junior synonym, so that it was not necessary to rename a valid species.</p>
