Remarks
Synonymisation of C. bokkeveldi with C. zygophyllum is based on sex association (both species were only known from a single sex) when females and males were captured together. Both species were described in the same publication but the name C. zygophyllum is given precedence because it has been used in flower visitation records and analyses of female scopal pollen loads.
