Non type material examined. Republic of Korea, Yangsan, Gyeongnam Province, 35.4040o N, 129.0050o E, 25.Aug.2010, D.K. Lee, black light trap (1 female, NTQIC).

Distribution. This species is widespread throughout Asia and Australasia.

Remarks. This specimen from Yangsan is in poor condition, lacking a complete wing, antennae, legs and other important morphological characters. Identification is based on wing pattern ( Fig 6 ) and DNA barcode which showed 100% similarity to that for C. jacobsoni from Japan (GenBank accessions AB360990 – AB360991 ; Matsumoto et al. 2009).
