Abstract
We characterize totally $\eta$-umbilic real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form $\widetilde{M}_n(c)$ $(=\Bbb CP^n(c)$ or $\Bbb CH^n(c))$ and a real hypersurface of type $(A_2)$ of radius $\pi/(2\sqrt{c})$ in $\Bbb CP^n(c)$ by observing the shape of some geodesics on those real hypersurfaces as curves in the ambient manifolds (Theorems 1 and 2).
