If I was forced to name it...
I'd call this C. wolcotti, but I've never been comfortable between the whole wolcotti/undulata pair. I doubt C. wolcotti (compared largely to C. balteata in its description) will survive a revision of the genus should one ever very deservingly occur.

Will leave species confirmation for John Laevengood or others :).
