This taxon was described based on numerous specimens without selection of a unique type ( Spaeth 1912b ); therefore, all specimens are syntypes . Spaeth (1941) synonymized C. kristenseni with Rhytidocassis limbiventris ( Boheman, 1854 ) . Borowiec (2002) revised the African species of Rhytidocassis Spaeth, 1941 and concurred with Spaeth (1941) . He listed four syntypes of C. kristenseni as paralectotypes but did not designate a lectotype . No other lectotype designation for this taxon is known to us, and therefore all specimens are syntypes .
