Type Material. Faldermann’ s types are probably lost. The types of C. flavipes are deposited in MNHP. The species was described based on specimens collected by Hans Leder from Tsalka (southern of Georgia, see Material Examined). I studied Cylindrinotus from Tsalka and found that it is only a form of C. gibbicollis with reddish legs. Reitter (1902) also described var. corallipes from the same locality.
