Abstract: Cao and Wang recently classified a class of locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces whose non-vanishing Tchebychev vector field $T$ satisfies $K(T,X)=αX$ and $X(α)=0$ for every $X\perp T$, together with $K(T,T)=βT$. In the degenerate case $β=2α$, their higher-dimensional argument assumes in addition that the $T^\perp$-component of the difference tensor $K$ vanishes identically. We show that this extra assumption is unnecessary and the theorem can be strengthened.
