Notes. Despite the fact that C. ornata cornuta is considered more typical of Antarctica ( Dougherty & Harris 1963, Dartnall 1995, 2000 and others), we considered the collected individuals to be representative of the typical species C. ornata due to the lack of a specific worm-like appendage on the spinal blade.
