Known from the Australian, Ethiopian and Palaearctic Region. Stilbum cyanurum

(FORSTER) is not mentioned in du BUYSSON (1899: 169) under Stilbum splendidum (FABRICIUS) and varieties. The record from New Caledonia is a geographical error in MOCSÁRY (1889: 193) and subsequent authors, because Woodlark Island belongs to Papua New Guinea.
