Widely distributed in the East. The species of this genus 

 are very difficult to distinguish from each other, and I think too 

 many have been described.

The genus was formed for a species found in Queensland. In 

 my recent paper I pointed out that a species from Japan (Lewis), 

 described by Bates as Stomonoxus platynotns (Trans. Ent. Soc. 

 Land. 1873, 283), belonged actually to this genus, and further 

 that the same species had lately been taken by Mr. H. Stevens in 

 Sikkim. I have now received from Mr. T. G. Sloane — to whom we 

 are indebted for the genus — two specimens taken by H. Fruhstor- 

 fer in Western Java (Mons. Gede and Pengalengan, both at 4000 

 feet), which also seem to be identical with Bates' species. By a 

 curious chance I have within the last few days seen an example, 

 belonging to Rev. J. A. O'Neil of Salisbury, Rhodesia, of a species 

 taken in that locality and very closely allied to C. picturatus. 

 The genus is evidently widely spread. In redescribing this genus 

 I have said of the el5'tra " interval 3 impunctate. " This is true 

 of C. rubripictus , SI. [ruhropictus in error in the table of species) 

 and C. platynotus, Bates, but not of C. picturatus, M. , which has a 

 well-marked setiferous pore on interval 3, adjoining stria 2, at a 

 third from apex. The specimens of C. picturatus were taken both 

 on Barkuda and Gopkuda Islands. The type came from Nagpur 

 (E. A. D'Abrcu). and I know of one other example in the Oxford 

 University Museum (Hope Dept.).
