Remarks. A Little-known species. It is quite widespread in southern Europe and North Africa ( Gildenkov 2015; Schülke & Smetana, 2015). For the Asian part of the Palaearctic Region, it is reliably known ( Gildenkov 2015) from Israel, Turkey, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. It is here recorded from Portugal and Cyprus for the first time. It was known from the south of France ( Gildenkov 2015), where it was identified as C. punctipennis (matching labels in the collection of G.A. Lohse – MHNG); the species is recorded here for Corsica for the first time.
