Vietnam (Bac Kan, Cao Bang, Hoa Binh, Kien Giang, Lai Chau, Lang Son, Lao Cai, Thai Nguyen, Tuyen Quang, Vinh Phuc), China (Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Hong Kong, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Shanghai, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Xizang, Yunnan, Zhejiang), Laos (Borikhamxay, Houaphanh, Khammuane, Luangnamtha, Luangprabang, Oudomxay, Phongsaly, Vientiane, Xayabury, Xiengkhuang), Cambodia (Pursat, Koh Kong, Kampot, Rattanakiri), Thailand (Chantaburi, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Kanchanaburi, Loei, Mae Hong Son, Nakhon Sawan, Nakhon Si Thamarat, Phitsanulok, Ranong, Surat Thani, Trang, Ubon Ratchathani), Myanmar (Bago, Shan), India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya).

Remarks. C. juxtata recently was suggested as a separate species on the results of DNA analysis (López- López, Abdul Aziz and Galían 2015: 6). Unfortunately the authors did not use „comb. nov.” for elevation into species rank according to ICZN and interconvert the morphological features of C. aurulenta and C. juxtata : not C. aurulenta is the larger one with bigger elytral spots, but C. juxtata . New provincial records for Bac Kan, Cao Bang, Hoa Binh, Lai Chau, Thai Nguyen and Vinh Phuc.
