Habitat
The preferred natural habitat of C. armitagei is vegetated coastal dunes, where it can be found under leaf litter. It has also been found in artificial plantations.[3]

There have been several errors in the scientific literature concerning C. armitagei. For the year of description, Frank & Ramus (1995) give 1896, while Pasteur (1981)[4] gives 1920 and 1921.[2] Also, the original describer, Edward George Boulenger, has been confused with his father, George Albert Boulenger.
