Remarks. The species is widely distributed in the Oriental region: China (Guangdong, Guizhou, Hongkong, Hubei, Hunan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), India, Indonesia (Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java), Japan (Okinawa), Cambodia, Malaysia (including Kalimantan), Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam (our data). C. atomus is known from the tropical Africa: Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burundi, Cameroon, the Central-African Republic, Congo, Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Madagascar, Mauritius, Namibia, Nigeria, the Republic of South Africa, Ruanda, Senegal, Seychelles islands, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe ( Gildenkov, 2007a: 1318; 2007c: 910). Besides that, the species is many times was recorded from the Palaearctic: Cyprus, Syria ( Gusarov, 1997: 280), Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia ( Gusarov, 1997: 280; Gildenkov, 2001: 277; 2003: 380; 2003a: 97: 2009a: 252), Iraq ( Gildenkov, 2001: 277; 2003: 380; 2003a: 97), China (Hebei), Japan, South Korea (Gildenkov (as formosanus ), 2001: 282, 2003: 381; 2003a: 97), Morocco (Gildenkov (as maroccanus), 2001: 280, 2003: 381; 2003a: 97), Turkey ( Gildenkov, 2007a: 1318; 2007c: 910), Afghanistan ( Gildenkov, 2009a: 252) and Pakistan (Gildenkov, 2012: 356). Recently it was recorded from Canary islands, China (NSichuan, Peking, Shaanxi), Malta, Madiera, Spain, Tunis (our data). Such distribution confirms the species more likely to belong to the fauna of tropical Africa and Oriental area, than to the fauna of Palaearctic.
