Most of the 18 species listed in this genus are from Australia or Pacific island territories, with one species, C. grayi Mound , from New Guinea. These thrips live on dead branches, but with several species associated with fungi at the base of grasses. This genus is closely related to Nesothrips Kirkaldy ( Mound & Palmer, 1983) , with similar morpho-character problems in taxonomy–the compound eyes of some species are not prolonged ventrally.
