Distribution

Previously, C. tuberculatum had been recorded only in French Guiana, Brazil, and Peru ( Gahan 1892, Monné 2015)

Notes

This species resembles C. rhinoceros Bates 1870 by the presence of two apical spines on each elytron, a character that separates these species from other species of Criodion . Characteristics such as C. rhinoceros having strong but unarmed mandibles, and the color of the body pilosity are very helpful in distinguishing the two species, being yellowish in C. tuberculatum and grayish in C. rhinoceros .
