Remarks. Four subspecies are recognized in this taxon. The nominal subspecies was described by Harold (1878) based on specimen(s) “im inneren Guinea, insbesondere bei Kabebe”. The Ferreira (1965) record seems based on Harold (1878) work. Gomes Alves (1973) confirmed the occurrence of this species in Angola. Holm & Marais (1992) summarized some ecological remarks on the subspecies C. barthi mashuna Arrow, 1909 .
