  • C. badius ( Reichenbach 2007, sp. nov.; L. masc. adj. badius, chestnut brown.)[3]
  • C. ferrugineus ( (Krzemieniewska and Krzemieniewski 1927) McCurdy 1970, species.; L. masc. adj. ferrugineus, of the color of iron-rust, dark-red.)[4]
  • C. fuscus ( Schroeter 1886, species. (Type species of the genus).; L. masc. adj. fuscus, dark, swarthy, dusky, tawny.)[4]
