Comments.

The genus is represented by 17 nominal species restricted to Asia, except C. parvulus (Banks, 1895), which is known from the USA and Canada. Diagnostic drawings have been made for all species in the genus, and nearly all have limited distributional ranges: 11 species are endemic, and five species are known only from two countries. Six species are known only from a single sex: two from males and four from females (all from China). To date, 12 species are recorded from China. Of those, eight are endemic ( WSC 2020).
