Distribution	Indonesia (Buru, Ambon, Haruku, Saparua, Seram and Kai = Kei Islands, Dullah Island, Langgur on Kai Kecil, Warka, Banda Elat and Cape Pattinson on Kai Besar) Type locality: Elat, Kei intermedius: Type locality: Rana, Buru Island, Maluku Province, Indonesia.
Reproduction	oviparous
Types	Syntypes: NMBA (= NHMB) 6203-06, ZMA.RENA 10836, ; Cotypes: MCZ R29162-63. Roux did not designate a holotype, but referred to 14 specimens from Elat, 4 specimens from Langgur, 3 specimens from Kei-Dulah, and 2 from Warka. Kramer (1979) listed NMBA 6203 as the holotype, but this is incorrect. The seven specimens listed are all from Elat. The remaining 7 Elat syntypes, and the 9 syntypes from other localities, have not yet been identified (Glenn Shea, pers. comm., Feb 2019). Lectotype: ZMA.RENA 10972 [intermedius]
Diagnosis	Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 4070 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details.
Comment	Synonymy: Mertens (1964) considered C. intermedius a synonym of C. keiensis, simply stating that he could not separate the two “races”. Although HORNER (2007) examined only 2 specimens he supports the recognition of C. intermedius.
Etymology	Named after the type locality.
