Matalin, A. V., 2023, An annotated checklist of the species of the subgenus Ifasina Jeannel, 1946, genus Cylindera Westwood, 1831 (Coleoptera, Cicindelidae), from the Philippines, with the description of a new species, Far Eastern Entomologist 473, pp. 1-19 : 3-4

Cylindera (Ifasina) viduata (Fabricius, 1801)

= Cicindela triguttata Herbst, 1806 .

= Cicindela chlorochila Chaudoir, 1852 .

= Cicindela myrrha Thomson, 1857 .

DISTRIBUTION. DISTRIBUTION. One of the most common and abundant species among the Asiatic Ifasina species, known from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China (Guangdong, Hainan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Yunnan), Malaysia ( Malacca, Borneo), Indonesia (Sumbawa, Java, Bali, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Papua New Guinea), Philippines ( Wiesner, 2020). In the Philippines, C. viduata has been found virtually on all larger, as well as several smaller islands – Palawan: Brooke’s Point ( Wiesner, 2019); Tawi-Tawi: without exact locality ( Wiesner, 1980, as triguttata ); Mindanao: Bukidnon (as Bukidon) ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989), San Miguel (Suba River), Mt. Agtuuganon ( Cassola, 2000), Santa Cruz ( Medina et al., 2019), Mt. Kitanglad, Barangay Bonbonon, Barangay Esperanza, Barangay Mati, Barangay San Isidro, Mambuntan Falls ( Acal et al., 2021); Camiguin: Sagay River ( Acal et al., 2021); Negros: Bago ( Schultze, 1916, as triguttata ); Samar: Lope de Vega (Johnsom, 2021); Leyte: without exact locality ( Wiesner, 1980, as triguttata ), 1992, 2020); Biliran: without exact locality ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989); Panay: Tangalan (as Tangcolan) ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989); Romblon: without exact locality ( Schultze, 1916, as triguttata ); Katanduanes: Pandan ( Johnson, 2021); Luzon: Olongapo ( Schultze, 1916, as triguttata ), Los Baños ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989), Mt. Makiling ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989; Kavanaugh et al., 2014), Mariveles, Tineg (Johnsom, 2021) ( Fig. 48 ).

NOTE. It seems noteworthy that for a long time Cylindera (Ifasina) holosericea (Fabricius, 1801) was listed in the fauna of the Philippines ( Horn, 1915, 1926, 1929; Wiesner, 1986, 1992, 2020). However, until now no reliably confirmed records of this species from the Philippines are available. Perhaps all previous records are in fact misidentifications of C. viduata which was regarded for a long time as a synonym of C. holosericea (see Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989).
