R e c o g n i t i o n: Tarsi with plantulae; erect setae on head and mesothorax white. Supra-antennal plate ventrally not delimited by a transverse carina which runs along and between the antennal sockets. Tarsal claws without basal tooth. Eight sternum truncate (

). The male of
Ch. ohli
differs from
Ch. madegassum
in havingthe supra-antennal plate ventrally not delimited by a transverse carina and the eight sternum is truncate (
Fig. 9
) (
Ch. madecassum
has the supra-antennal plate ventrally delimited by a transverse carina and the sternum VIII is slender with an apical process (
HENSEN 1988: 26
, Fig. 37)). The male of
Ch. ohli
differs from
Ch. bonneti
in having the sternum VIII not so broadly truncate (
Fig. 9
) and the penis valve has teeth along ventral margin (
Fig. 7
) (
Ch. bonneti
has the sternum VIII more broadly truncate (
HENSEN 1988: 26
, Fig. 33) and the penis valve has no teeth along ventral margin).
