This new species, belonging to the group of C. alpinus (sensu Perreau, 2000), is closely related to C. cavazzutii Giachino, 1988, of the eastern Pontic Alps, and constitutes its northern vicariant. The author provides ecological and chorological data on the new species and discusses the zoogeographic hypotheses on the origin of the phenomena of differentiation in the south-western species of this group.
