Habitat:
The natural habitat of C. foxi is moist savanna and forest edges. However, this species can tolerate some habitat disturbance and is common in sugarcane plantations and similar modified habitats. At Owerri (Nigeria), they reportedly favor secondary growth and cleared land (Cozens and Marchant 1952, Happold 1987).
Range:
This African species has been recorded throughout the Sudan savanna zone, from Senegal in the east to southern Sudan. In West Africa, this species is well known from Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and possibly occurs in other countries. Its Nigerian range includes the Jos Plateau which has an average height of 1,280 m and is the only region of Nigeria with a near temperate climate. There is an unpublished record of C. foxi from Chad. This species has not been found in Benin.
Conservation:
There are no direct conservation measures in place for this species. It is presumably present within a number of protected areas.
