This species is based on a single specimen labeled “Fort-Crampel, sur le haut Chari, dans le Congo français ” (see also Note to C. bouvieri bouvieri Rousseau, 1905 ). C. crampeli was originally ( Alluaud 1915: 153 ) described as a subspecies of Eudema [= Isotarsus ] eximia (LaFerté-Sénectere, 1851) , name of another species, recently ( Basilewsky 1987: 200 ) synonymized with C. reflexus (Fabricius, 1781) . Description (in part see Alluaud 1915a : 153). “ A large subspecies that may reach 30 mm , while E. eximia s. str. [= C. reflexus ] reaches hardly 26 mm (statue decribed by La Ferté {loc. cit.}, and those specimens I collected in 1880 in Assinie, Ivory Coast ). But its statue is not constant and all examined specimens of this subspecies are recognizable mainly as follows: yellow humeral fascia markedly wider, reaching from II. to VIII. interval (seven intervals), while macular spots are absent on three internal intervals (including sutural) in the type of the species [= C. reflexus ]. Preapical yellow fascia variable, ranging from IV. to VIII. interval, or reduced to 2 elongated macular spots on intervals IV and VI, and, finally, totally absent. Pronotum and elytra shaped and sculptured similarly to in E. eximia [= C. reflexus ]; I do not consider the form of crampeli different on specific level” [from French]. Distribution.
