.

”; 1 : “

Claude Besuchet´s drawing of the aedeagus (probably of the male in his collection) is illustrated in
Figs 68–69
. Based on this drawing,
C. judaeum
belongs to the
C. corruptum
group and is most closely allied to the following species. It has been reported only from
Lebanon
(SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015).
