The~speci.es is very similar to C. piceus Solsky, 1867, supposed to be a close relative, they form a well-separable group within the subgenus. The distinctive features between the two species are: C. schubertii <j> C. piceus g largest width of the head: broader (27) largest width of the head: narrower (23) pronotum: definitely broader than long pronotum: nearly as long as broad (34:28) (29:30) Figs 1-2. Pronotum: 1^ Coprophilus (Coprophilus) striatulus (F.), 2= Coprophilus (Zonoptilus) pennifer Mötsch. - Figs. 3-11. Aedoeagus: 3-5= Coprophilus (Coprophilus) striatulus (F.), 6-8: Coprophilus (Zonoptilus) pennifer Mötsch. 9-11= Coprophilus (Zonoptilus) piceus Solsky.
