Why C. interrupta? Why not Cylindromya auriceps?

What is the difference between species?

The first character is apical scutellar bristles, theiy are present in auriceps; narrow middle thoracical stripes are more or less delimited from wide lateral stripes in auriceps; anterior and posterior margins of terigites are dusted in auriceps. Something like this: http://www.birdpix.lt/macro/displayimage.php?album=258&pos=1#nav_pic
