Moved
Tim, I didn't notice the difference, especially since I photographed a C. transversoguttata from the same general area. Your scrutiny added a new species to my list:-)

C. monticola
Tom, unless someone positively determined this one as C. transversoguttata, I'd suggest the complete absense of any humeral spot leans more toward C. monticola. See comments under C. difficilis might also be possible, but I'd lean toward C. monticola.
