The female of C. boharti Scullen is very similar in size and color 

 pattern to C. astart Banks and C. krombeini Scullen but can be sep- 

 arated easily from each by the clypeal structures. The form of the 

 clypeal process of the female of C. boharti Scullen is very similar to 

 that of C. echo Mickel but the two species are very different in other 

 respects.
