I got 3 more of this yesterday. Now I have total of 8. But have a hard time spotting the sexes.
Any tips other than plan view ?

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.
