.
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
).
