Johnson & Musetti 2004: 31.
Remarks
Male and male genitalia known. Described from females and males ( Sundholm 1970: 357‒359), including a drawing of male genitalia (p. 358, fig. 127). The MZLU imaged the allotype, its male genitalia and the corresponding label ( Fig. 101 View Fig ). The species is very similar to C. reinholdi sp. nov. (see remarks under C. reinholdi ). Additionally, Sundholm (1970: 359) described the form C. confusus f. brachypterus from a short winged female and a presumably fully winged male. The genitalia of the C. confusus f. brachypterus male differ from those of the C. confusus male. They are similar to those of C. mamamutere sp. nov. in shape and harpe/gvc index ( Sundholm 1970: 360, fig. 130). However, the form brachypterus and C. mamamutere can be distinguished by a stronger colour contrast between flagellum and scape + pedicel and a longer scape and a distinct broader F 9 in C. confusus f. brachypterus ( Sundholm 1970: 360, fig. 129). The description of a form with distinctly different male genitalia does not seem particularly useful, and the form might well represent a distinct species.
Biology
Unknown.
Distribution
Afrotropical: South Africa.
Type depository
The female holotypes and male allotypes of C. confusus and C. confusus f. brachypterus are deposited in the MZLU.
