According to Willemse et al. (2009), characters of C. bornhalmi are: tegmina extending well beyond tip of hind knee in both sexes, in male from 1.35-1.75, in female 1.35-1.58 times as long as length of the hind femur (in the present specimens 1.35-1.65 and 1.35-1.50, respectively), distance from center of stigma to tip of fore wing in male from 5.3-7.3, in female 7.4-8.8 mm (in the present specimens 5.3-6.3 and 7.4-8.0, respectively) (Fig. 1), pronotum with lateral keels relatively strongly angled, metazona of pronotum relatively long and wide, greatest width of metazona of male 2.15-2.70 (in the present specimens 2.15-2.30) (Figs. 2, 3), in female 3.0- 3.9 mm (in the present specimens 3.0-3.5), number of stridulatory pegs in male 105-153 (in the present specimens 110-120), ventral surface of thorax strongly hairy.

C. bornhalmi View in CoL differs from C. brunneus View in CoL mainly by the number of pegs on the hind femur (> 100 in C. bornhalmi View in CoL , <90 in C. brunneus View in CoL ), thus the identification results difficult. C. bornhalmi View in CoL is distributed from north-east Italy, Balkans, Greece (many islands included) to Anatolia ( Willemse et al. 2009; Willemse et al. 2018). The presence in Jordan and Lebanon was previously unrecorded.
