This individual keys out to nebraskensis after re-evaluation.
Brad, feel free to re-examine the specimen I sent to you. The size of the punctures on the proepisternum is a relative measurement separating this species from pennsylvanicus. There is still a chance the specimen I sent you is pennsylvanicus, because these two species often co-occure.

Thanks for catching the mistake!
This is a very tricky group to key out. (At least to me)

you're right of course
made an error in interpreting Lindroth's key; I believe it is C. nebraskensis now, but will move to genus level until I can verify
