Description

"Very rare species, probably with small and localised populations. According to historical data (DEUVE 1981) C. myrmidon occurs on the western coast (Bourail, La Foa) as well as on the eastern coast (Kanala) of the Grande Terre. Fauvel based his description on specimens caught in Kanala and Ourail. Recently, rather abundant adults were observed during rainy weather on tree trunks in the forest at the foot of the Mont Mou. In the last mentioned locality the species occurs sympatrically with another three species: C. mniszechii, C. acentra, and C. lunigera. Another pair was collected in forest remnants near Bouloupari."
