Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. Fanti and L. J. Walker 2019 | The new species is easily distinguishable by very transverse pronotum, not present in other fossil species of the genus Cantharis (Fanti, 2017), except for C. lidiae sp. nov., and C. zabolica Fanti & Poschmann, 2019 from Enspel. C. lidiae sp. nov., however, is much larger and has shorter elytra, while C. zabolica is much larger and has a more elongate head and wider elytra. |
