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 View FIGURES 1 – 6. 1, 2. C ) and DNA barcode which showed 100% similarity to that for C. jacobsoni from Japan (GenBank accessions AB360990 View Materials – AB360991 View Materials ; Matsumoto et al. 2009).
