Note. This species is based on specimens labeled “Djabir-Bandja”. Bondo (Djabir) is a place on Uele River with a very small population in the region of Orientale, DR Congo. I have not seen the type deposited in Brussels, my opinions are based on the profound examination by Burgeon (1930b: 158) and Basilewsky (1951b: 206). Description (in part, see Duvivier 1891: ccclxxvi). “Length 19 mm, width 8 mm. Black, glossy, almost parallelsided; pronotum quite similar to that in C. tetrastigma ( Chaudoir, 1850) , but rugate, punctured, lateral margins posteriorly more elevated (wider at midlength), more narrowing anteriorly; elytra almost parallel-sided, moderately flattened, black, glossy, punctured, striated, intervals rugate, punctured, each with two red maculae; humeral macula near base, with margin, obliqued anteriorly, reaching from III to VII interval, limited to anterior third, preapical macula near apex, with anterior margin in its apical third, hind margin obliqued posteriorly, reaching from IV to VIII interval, with small macular spot on III interval, maculae not regularly marginated, except anterior margin in humeral macula, which is almost flat. Body and legs black” [from French]. Later C. strachani depressus Alluaud, 1929 , was based on three specimens collected in Bas-Uele District, Orientale Province, DR Congo. Description (in part, see Alluaud 1929: 89). “...represent one well distinct subspecies (I do not establish one new different species, I prefer to treat it as a variant of C. strachani ). Body less convex posteriorly, markedly depressed on disc; yellow humeral maculae with more equalised spots, maculae often more serrate, because of mostly denticulated posterior margins; preapical maculae, without more equalised spots, but as well more serrate. Elytral margins moderately more rounded, creating more ovoid back of the body, less distinctly anteriorly as well as posteriorly” [from French]. Basilewsky added (1951b: 206). “ C. Strachani Hope is a rather variable species, yet I do not hesitate to separate this series of specimens which, as stated above, are quite similar to one another because of a certain variation in colourization which distinguishes west African from central African specimens at first sight. On the other hand, constant differences between true Strachani from West Africa and Milzi Duvivier (= depressus Alluaud) race from the North of Congo are not significant, yet present in all Congoan specimens. Therefore I consider all specimens from the French Congo and from the North of The Belgian Congo one subspecies ssp. Milzi, not greatly different from true Strachani ” [from French].

Distribution. Central African Republic, Democratic Congo: Équateur, Orientale Provinces.
