 worthwhile proposing a new name for C. albitarsis in order to treat the eastern and 

 western populations as separate subspecies. N. syn.

Ecology: Has been reared from spider egg cocoons collected under rocks. Host: Eggs of 

 drassid spider. The subspecies recognized by Townes and Townes (1962) suffer from 

 being based upon too few specimens and, in two cases, from being based upon different 

 characters in each sex (hind tarsal coloration in males and flagellar coloration in 

 females). If the white banding on the female hind tarsus (contrary to the description of 

 Townes and Townes [1962], in at least one female they placed in their nominate 

 subspecies tarsal segments 2 through 4 are entirely white) does not correlate well with 

 the extent of white coloration on the female flagellum, it does not seem logical to
