This species belongs to the inarmata group, which is characterized by the absence of a spine in the antenniferous tubercles. Catorhintha divergens can be easily distinguished by the combination of the following characters: the humeral angles of the pronotum expanded and acute, the scape ocher with a black outer band, thorax ventrally immaculate and with the dorsal segments of the abdomen bright orange with a reddish brown fascia media (Brailovsky and García 1987).
