Literature records: CHILE ( Blackwelder 1945; Ślipiński 1989; Burckhardt & Ślipiński 2003); ARGENTINA ( Blackwelder 1945); Neuquén ( Bruch 1914).

Material examined: ARGENTINA: Neuquén: [without locality], 12-III-1898, C. Bruch, 1 ex. [ CBBA].

Note. The record of C. decoratus from Brazil by Blackwelder (1945) and repeated by Burckhardt & Ślipiński (2003) is possibly erroneous. Distributional data restrict it to the cold forests of Nothofagus in southern Chile and Argentina.
