please:
you seem to have multiple individuals -- are there any with more contrasting elytral pattern (maculae)? could you also provide [1] a good ventral shot to see the prosternum + [2] sworn statement re: antennomere count? :))))) (10 vs 11)
i just want to bring this guy home (i strongly suspect C. biguttata)

yes
there are several that have very good elytral maculae, although I have one that has elytra completely dark, and I managed to count 11 segments on one of the maculated specimens...Any help?
