• Scrutiny:
  • Dolling, 2010, Distant, 1879b: 130 raised brevicornis from synonymy with nepalensis but later Distant, 1902d: 373 returned it to synonymy. [Distant, 1879b: 130: ‘Previous writers, probably having never seen this species, have considered it synonymous with C. nepalensis, Hope. It is, however, very distinct from that species, agreeing both in colour, size, and markings with Herrich-Schäffer’s description and figure (the last does not show the apical joint of the antenna luteous, as it should do). The armature of the posterior femora, however, is the most distinctive character. The collection [by Chennell, NE India] contained both sexes.’]
