REMARKS

Dossou & Birgi (1984) indicated that C. falcifer corresponds to a proportion of specimens named C. dionchus by Paperna in 1968; we agree with that: among the three figures given by Paperna (1968: 91), we consider number 6 (pl. I) to be a C. falcifer and probably was found on H. fasciatus .
