REMARK Benoit (1966) stated that the type of C. maculata (Roewer, 1953) was a juvenile specimen of the species described in the adult stage as C. tullgreni (Roewer, 1953) (Fig. 8). We show however that the holotype specimen of C. maculata (Roewer, 1953) is not a juvenile but an adult female (Fig. 7).
