Moved
Moved from Tumblebugs. Reversing myself, looking at keys (1) and detailed descriptions (2), plus images here of C. vigilans, C. pilularis, and C. chalcites, this does look consistent with vigilans.

Good, this is better shot for the key. The missing (sub)genera will probably be tough to get from wild material - need to get some shots of pinned specimens, especially Pseudocanthon.
