Usually smaller than C. achrayi, and often difficult to distinguish from females of that species. Campbell & Pelham-clinton (1960) showed that separation of the species allied to pallidicornis could be made by plotting the total length of the antennal flagellum to the antennal ratio. The males differ in that the posterior margin of the ninth tergite has a deep central notch. AR 1.15-1.33; SD 3,11-15.
The figures are from Glukhova (1989).
A common and widely distributed species, especially in woodland habitats; the larvae are to be found among decaying leaf debris.
Throughout Europe and Scandinavia to Russia.
Nothing known.
