New material. South Africa, Mpumalanga (labelled as E Transvaal), Waterval River Pass, 24°54'S / 30°21'E, 6.XI.1980, leg. S. Endrödy-Younga, 6 ex. TMSA, 1 ex.

Remarks. The examined paratypes of C. vandami have the elytra somewhat more narrowed towards tip as specimens of C. wasmanni, and also somewhat higher elytral keels, but all other external characters agree. At present, these differences are considered as specific.
