"John Lonsdale mentioned that this species may eventually be submerged in C. pallasii. Brian Mathew told me last year that C. mathewii might disappear as a taxon, but I didn't remember what species he had mentioned as a candidate." I think the possibly synonymous species should read C. asumaniae Best, J.
