Leleup leg.; BE_RMCA_ARA. Ara.129768. DISTRIBUTION. — Democratic Republic of the Congo. REMARK Benoit (1966) considered the holotype of C. straba to be an adult female. However, after examination and dissection of the epigastric furrow of individual BE_RMCA_ARA. Ara.112302, we found that no spermatheca were developed, demonstrating that the holotype is juvenile. Thus, C. straba is herein considered as species inquirenda.
