Distribution.

Jocqué (2001) initially described C. gastroperforata based on material from four localities (Witelsbos [type locality], Van Huyssteenbos, Silverrivier and Saasveld), but later included the paratypes from the latter two localities under C. striata Jocqué & Alderweireldt, 2018 , together with its holotype from Rosendal farm near Prince Albert. However, Dippenaar-Schoeman et al. (2022) incorrectly included all five localities under C. gastroperforata ; only Witelsbos and Van Huyssteenbos are still valid. We report C. gastroperforata from five additional localities here (Fig. 4 ).
