This species is alHed to C. boucardi, but, judging from the only 

 specimen known, differs in having the hind part of the head, the 

 nape, and sides of the head chestnut, the neck and breast are without 

 the dark slaty-grey tinge, the wings are barred with black, and the 

 style of barring on the wings is different, the light yellowish-brown 

 bars so conspicuous in the female of C. boucardi being absent.
