Distribution.

Condylostylus longicornis is widespread in the New World tropics and subtropics and has been readily transported by humans to other biogeographic realms. Recorded from the southeastern USA, Caribbean, Central America, tropical South America (including Galápagos Islands), and introduced to French Polynesia and Hawaii (Bickel 2002), Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, and Sri Lanka (Yang et al. 2006), and United Arab Emirates (Naglis and Bickel 2017).

Remarks.

Robinson (1975) treated this species as Condylostylus chrysoprasi (Walker). The synonymy is from Bickel (2002).
