According to the authors' description of new species C. daphneae, the subtle difference in hue between the male (left) and female (right) specimens captured in these photographs is representative, with males primarily occupying the orange-brown end of the range while females exhibit a true black.

The tiny jumpers of this genus are thought to be mimics of smaller Coccinellidae (the ladybird beetle family).
