Notes

This genus is poorly known and its limits remain questionable. Certain species currently residing in other nemognathine genera (e.g. Euzonitis , Nemognatha ) may belong here. According to Reitter (1896) and Reichardt (1934) four of the central Asian species should be considered synonyms of C. sinuatipennis (Fairmaire, 1892) . Two undescribed species of Ctenopus are cited from central Turkey by Bodemeyer (1906).
