I considered that species
but the only two photos previously posted on BugGuide show specimens that look different from mine. Thank you Belov for pursuing a final, expert determination.

The specimen posted by Margarethe bears the closest resemblance, but the antennae are strikingly different. It must be sexual dimorfism.

Jacques Rifkind says.
"I’m not convinced that C. catalina is a good species separable from C. elegans. So I dont know what to call these."
