This Afrotropical species was described from Uganda , is widespread in Africa ( Mound et al. 2012 ) and also known from Yemen (zur Strassen & van Harten 2008). It is very close to C. nyanzai in sharing sternal crespeda. However, it can be distinguished by the pronotal posteroangular setae and ocellar setae pair III at least 1.5 times as long as width of antennal segment II, whereas in C. nyanzai these setae are shorter than antennal segment II ( Mound et al. 2012 ).
