Toxopeus: Station 1A, 1921, 1♂ (MZB-ORTH10623), 1♂, MZB-ORTH1826 (MNHN-EO-ENSIF3153), 3♀ (MZB-ORTH1827, 10622, 10586), 1♀, MZB-ORTH10621 (MNHN-EO-ENSIF3152); Station 4, 860 m, 29–31.I.1922, 1♀ (MZB-ORTH1836); Leksoela [?], V-VII-1921, 1♀ (MZB-ORTH1813); Station, IX.1921, 1♂, E. Estrin (MZB-ORTH1800); Station 1, IV-IX.1921, 1♂ (MZB-ORTH1811).
Type locality. Indonesia, Buru Island.
Other material examined. Indonesia. Maluku Province, Aboina [Ambon I.], 1859, Dr. Doleschal: 1♂, identified Eneoptera varia Br. (NHMW); 1♂, identified Pl. [Platydactylus] varius Br. (NHMW).
Etymology. Named after type locality.
Distribution. Indonesia, Buru Island and Ambon Island.
Diagnosis. The new species is very close to C. muiri Otte, 2007a but differs in distinctly more rounded subbasal projections of the dorsal epiphallic ridges and lateral field of tegmina brown (yellow in C. muiri); C. buru differs from C. halmahera by epiphallic ridges practically symmetrical; and from all the other species consired here in the subbasal projections of dorsal epiphallic ridges clearly curved aside.
Description. Male (holotype): Species of average size. Coloration yellowish with following marks: face of head with light brown spot under each antennal cavity and a pair of small brown spots on rostral apex; head dorsum brown with a pair of slight lighter longitudinal marks between eyes and narrow yellowish stripe outlined anterior part of dorsum (Fig. 16A–B); scape with brown medial spot; antennal flagellum light brown; pronotum brown with narrow light brown stripes along ventral edge of each lateral lobe and along lateral edges of disk (latter stripes interrupted at middle) (Fig 16C); tegmina brown with 4 yellowish white spots on dorsal field, a few veins in region of chords, branches of Sc and crossveins between them, and with yellowish some oblique veins (membranes between Sc branches almost light brown, and spots at base of chords and near distal part of chords almost reddish brown) (Figs 16D–E); exposed part of hind wings brownish gray with venation almost same color; legs uniformly light brown with only hardly darker apical part of hind femora and base of hind tibiae; abdomen with weakly spotted light brown tergites and anal plate as well as slightly darkened distal part of genital plate. Apical area of tegmina long, mirror slightly narrower than in C. empagatao (almost as in C. halmahera n. sp.), comb of tegminal Sc with 9–10 branches, and male genitalia with subbasal projections of dorsal epiphallic ridges distinctly more rounded and less strongly curved laterally (Figs 16H–K).
Female: General appearance similar to that of holotype, but face with light brown area between light brown spots under antennal cavities; tegmina with 2 yellowish white spots in dorsal field (basal spot and lateral one), connected with each other by narrow light humeral stripe, and light venation (excepting brown R, stem of Sc, and crossveins between them), as well as with 12–13 longitudinal veins in dorsal field, 7–8 branches of Sc, and much more numerous crossveins (especially in lateral field) (Figs 16F–G). Ovipositor quite short (hind femur almost 1.2 times as long as ovipositor), its apex smooth on both dorsal and ventral edges (Fig. 13B).
Female genitalia (Fig. 14B): Copulatory papilla triangular, with thin baso-lateral sclerites; apex rounded and slightly sclerotized, slightly folded ventrally.
Juvenile: Unknown.
Variation. Some male paratypes with slightly darker most part of head dorsum and almost without crossveins between Sc branches. Anterior part of the epiphallic ridges also variable in shape, slightly asymmetrical in some males.
Measurements. Length in mm. Body: male 22–24, female 25; body with wings: male 29–31, female 33.5; pronotum: male 3.1–3.5, female 3.9; tegmina: male 17–18, female 20; hind femora: male 17–19.5, female 21; ovipositor 18.
Habitat and life history traits. Unknown.
Behavior. Unknown.
