| Comment | Similar species: closely related to C. lacertoides.
Synonymy after CEI 1993. Peters and Donoso-Barros (1970) considered Cn. leachei Peracca as a synonym of Cn. lacertoides but leachei was resurrected by Cei and Scrocchi (1991). Not mentioned by REEDER et al. (2002).
Group: member of the lacertoides group, see C. lacertoides for details.
Distribution: Probably also in Bolivia (fide LANGSTROTH 2005). |
| Etymology | Named after Francisco Leache, “...proprietario di vaste tenute a S. Lorenzo, il quale ospitò cortesemente il Dr. Borelli durante il suo soggiorno a S. Lorenzo...” |
