Kaup quotes C. cavicornis from Malacca and Penang. I have not 

 seen it, but there is a specimen of a Comacupes in Dr. Felder's collection, 

 evidently belonging to a new species.* Its locality is given as Bras., which 

 clearly means Brasilia, there is, however, no such form described from 

 America, the specimen came much more likely somewhere from the Philip- 

 pines.
