Distribution. Japan: Honshu; India; Sri Lanka; China; Vietnam; Java; Sumatra.

Remarks. According to Tsacas & Artigas (1994), C. chinensis and C. oldroydi have very similar female genitalia. Their key mentions the structure of sternite VIII to distinguish both. Our specimens clearly key to C. chinensis and lack the patch of black bristles on sternite III mentioned in the description of C. oldroydi and not mentioned in the redescription of the female holotype of C. chinensis . Tsacas & Artigas (1994) described C. oldroydi from Japan and recorded C. chinensis from the Asian mainland. However, according to Tagawa (2020) the separation of both species is doubtful.

Grypoctonus aino Speiser, 1928 . Schr. phys.-okon. Ges. Konigsberg 65: 156 – Type locality: Japan: Nagasaki – Type collection: ZSMC [ Hradský & Geller-Grimm (1999)].

New records. Fukuoka Pref., Mount Sefuri: 25 Oct. 1997 (4).

Distribution. Japan: Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu.

Remarks. Lehr (1988) listed G. aino as synonym of Grypoctonus hatakeyamae (Matsumura, 1916) , but Hradský & Geller-Grimm (1999) studied the types of Speiser and concluded that G. aino is a valid species based on the wing venation and the morphology of the male genitalia.
