World Distribution
The species is perhaps absent from WIO, confused here with C. violascens. Shih et al. (2016, The Raffles Bull. Suppl. 34-II) indicate for C. cavipes: Ryukyu Islands, Japan; Taiwan; Philippines; Malaysia; and Indonesia. Record from South Central Pacific, based on Sendler (1923), should be confirmed.
