Reported from Lake Bato, Camarines Sur as C. gilli (Ref. 280). According to Herre 1924, examination of the type of C. nieuhofii will decide the validity of C. gilli Smith & Seale 1906 as a distinct species. The latter species was found common over Mindanao and in southeastern Luzon, specimens were collected from a market at Tituan, on the Rio Grande de Mindanao, from Malupali River, Mailag, Bukidnon, and in a brook near Santa Fe, Bukidnon (Ref. 2854). Also Ref. 7050. |
