Are you sure? If they are C. duplicareus then the stripe on the back is a bit thin and why do they have yellow as opposed to orange head caps? They are also a touch tall in the body.

All this could just be the conditions of the photograph, which is why I asked.

No C. adolfoi,

C. duplicarus are stockier with a shorter more rounded head.

First quick glance does look like C. duplicarus especially the one above.

Seconded - C. adolfoi.
