This species can easily be separated from all the other species currently known in the genus by its remarkably wide clypeus, the brightness of its body surface and the scattered round to horseshoe punctures on the pronotum (dense and rugose in all the other species). Of the four species currently known in the genus

<taxonomicName lsidName="C. takanoi" pageId="0" pageNumber="129" rank="species" species="takanoi">C. takanoi</taxonomicName>
|

, which occurs in Zambia (Ikelenge), but on its northwestern corner at the border with the DRC and Angola. Conversely, the only record currently known for

The two species can easily be separated on the basis of their key differences at the level of the clypeal width, pronotal tubercle and sculpture, aedeagal parameres and the general body colour and ornamentation. In particular, the clypeus of
|
||
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. macrocephala" pageId="0" pageNumber="129" rank="species" species="macrocephala">C. macrocephala</taxonomicName>
|
||
is as wide as the total length of its head (from the tip of the clypeus to the anterior margin of the pronotum), while in
|
||
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. takanoi" pageId="0" pageNumber="129" rank="species" species="takanoi">C. takanoi</taxonomicName>
|
||
it is shorter by about 30%. The pronotum of
|
||
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. macrocephala" pageId="0" pageNumber="129" rank="species" species="macrocephala">C. macrocephala</taxonomicName>
|
||
exhibits a very prominent tubercle on its mid anterior margin, while this is absent in
|
||
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. takanoi" pageId="0" pageNumber="129" rank="species" species="takanoi">C. takanoi</taxonomicName>
|
||
. Additionally, the pronotum of
|
||
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. macrocepala" pageId="0" pageNumber="129" rank="species" species="macrocepala">C. macrocepala</taxonomicName>
|
||
is completely black and characterized by scattered, round to horseshoe punctures, while in
|
||
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. takanoi" pageId="0" pageNumber="129" rank="species" species="takanoi">C. takanoi</taxonomicName>
|
||
it is brickred on the sides and black at middle, with dense rugose sculpture throughout the surface. Finally, the parameres of
|
||
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. macrocephala" pageId="0" pageNumber="129" rank="species" species="macrocephala">C. macrocephala</taxonomicName>
|
||
are much longer and narrower than those of

). In those species, the main differences lie in the female exhibiting a tridentate and substantially enlarged protibia, in comparison to the male. The antennal clubs are almost twice as long in the male, while the general body shape is generally broader and more globose in the female. Additionally, typically the female meso- and metatibial teeth are more pronounced than those of the male.

, Vol II, p. 457). Thus, the type locality is obviously just across the Zambian border town of Nakonde. It is most likely though that the distribution range of this species extends to the nearby mountainous regions of both Zambia and Malawi.
