Redescription. Frons, gena, occiput, median occipital sclerite yellow.

Wing (Fig. 24) with apical patch separated from subcostal band, subcostal band from pterostigma through vein BM-Cu to convergent point of veins Cu 2 and A 1; apical patch covering crossvein R-M and having a hyaline arched-round spot at cell m and a hyaline oval spot at apex of wing; vein R 4+5 setulose only at base. Abdomen (Fig. 21) elongate-oval in shape, dark brown, some specimens with two vague yellow-brown patches in middle of tergites 1+2 and 3. Female with oviscape almost equal to length of tergites 5–6; aculeus (Fig. 28) length/width about 3.5 times, tip blunt, with two pairs of setae (Fig. 26); 3 spermathecae (Fig. 25), each with 2 rounded and sack-like structures. Male terminalia: epandrium rounded in posterior view (Fig. 22); surstylus with apex rounded in lateral view; medial surstylus having 2 black prensisetae.

Material examined. 1♀ (TAUI), Cameroon, Rt. N 11, Bafut, 20 km N. Bamenda, 17, 24 June 1987, leg. Fini Kaplan; 1♀ (USNM). Cameroon, Kribi, 25 June 1951, leg. J.M. Mc Gough; 2♂ (USNM), Cameroon, Ottotomo Forest, 11 September 1951, leg. J.M. Mc Gough; 1♂ 1♀ (QMB), Democratic Republic of Congo, Sandoa, Katanga, 19 May 1931; 1♀ (Type of C. fenestratus oculatus Bezzi, RMCA), Democratic Republic of Congo, Maluku, 17 April 1912, leg. Mus. Tervuren, R. DET. 865, Dr. Mouchet; 1♂ 1♀ (TAUI), Nigeria, Plateau State, Kurra Falls, 60 km SE Jos, 5, 7 July 1987, leg. A. Freidberg; 1♂ (genitalia missing) (TAUI), Nigeria, Niger State, Mariga River, 80 km NW Minna, 11 July 1987, leg. Fini Kaplan.

Distribution. Angola, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

Remarks. The wing markings of C. obnubilus are variable according to Hancock (1986). In our examination, various markings are also found in 2♂ 1♀ from Cameroon and 1♀ from Democratic Republic of Congo. However, because we only examined limited materials, keeping all specimens under C. obnubilus is accepted here.
