Remarks.-

We tentatively identified this species to be close to C. olivacea Ramme, 1941. Both adults and nymphs of the species were found on Citrus limon at KBFSC. The grasshoppers feed on the leaves, and appear to prefer the older leaves to the younger ones. We identified our species based on the key to species by Willemse (1956) as well as images of type specimens (courtesy of L. Willemse). To date, this genus is endemic to Borneo. The male phallus was previously unexamined. Virtually nothing is known about the life history of these elusive grasshoppers.
