Remarks.

Chreonoma rigida Gressitt, 1942c is junior homonym and objective synonym of Chreonoma rigida Gressitt, 1941. The Zhejiang record was firstly reported by Gressitt (1951) with a question mark; Breuning (1956, 1966) did not include it, while Hua (2002) Hua et al. (2009), Löbl and Smetana (2010), Lin and Yang (2019), and Danilevsky (2020) did include this Zhejiang record. We did not find Gressitt’s Zhejiang specimens in either IZCAS or SYSU. Although a photograph on the website http://bezbycids.com/byciddb/wdetails.asp?id=26554 is said to be a voucher specimen of Bacchisa rigida examined by Gressitt (1951), this photograph is of a different species. Therefore, we remove Zhejiang from the list of localities from which C. rigida is known.
