Ecology. – See Canthydrus morsbachi .

Remarks. – Our identification remains tentative as suitable literature is not available and we have not seen any type material yet. The specimens were compared with identified beetles deposited in the collections of DEI and CBH. Canthydrus proximus has been recorded from Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia ( Vazirani, 1977). Chinese reports were not verified (Nilsson, 1995).
