Note.
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].
