Material.
-Known only from type series. UGANDA: Mt. Moroto, 3000 m, VIII 1966 (NHMUK).
Description.
-Differs from
C. amplificata
in larger size. Size (in mm): total length males 15-17, females 20-29. Antennae 1.7x length of head plus pronotum. Fastigium of vertex (Fig. 149) somewhat broader, with weaker carinula; foveolae as weak or weaker. Pronotum with inflexed and markedly divergent lateral carinae interrupted by all three transverse sulci (Fig. 150). Epiphallus as in Fig. 163-compare with
Rastafaria
, Fig. 162. Coloration generally light brown and black; dorsum of pronotum without black, but side band strong, covering 2/3 of lateral lobe of pronotum (Fig. 150). Abdominal side band more interrupted and fainter; tegmina shiny-black in anterior 3/5; posterior femora light brown, immaculate. Females generally similar to males but antennae shorter, about equal to length of head and pronotum. Area of tegmen between C and Sc with a creamy calloused speculum in many specimens, thus unlike males.
Distribution.
