DISTRIBUTION. DISTRIBUTION. One of the most common and abundant species among the Asiatic Ifasina species, known from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China ( Guangdong, Hainan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Yunnan), Malaysia ( Malacca, Borneo), Indonesia (Sumbawa, Java, Bali, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Papua New Guinea), Philippines ( Wiesner, 2020). In the Philippines, C. viduata has been found virtually on all larger, as well as several smaller islands – Palawan: Brooke’s Point ( Wiesner, 2019); Tawi-Tawi: without exact locality ( Wiesner, 1980, as triguttata ); Mindanao: Bukidnon (as Bukidon) ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989), San Miguel (Suba River), Mt. Agtuuganon ( Cassola, 2000), Santa Cruz ( Medina et al., 2019), Mt. Kitanglad, Barangay Bonbonon, Barangay Esperanza, Barangay Mati, Barangay San Isidro, Mambuntan Falls ( Acal et al., 2021); Camiguin: Sagay River ( Acal et al., 2021); Negros: Bago ( Schultze, 1916, as triguttata ); Samar: Lope de Vega (Johnsom, 2021); Leyte: without exact locality ( Wiesner, 1980, as triguttata ), 1992, 2020); Biliran: without exact locality ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989); Panay: Tangalan (as Tangcolan) ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989); Romblon: without exact locality ( Schultze, 1916, as triguttata ); Katanduanes: Pandan ( Johnson, 2021); Luzon: Olongapo ( Schultze, 1916, as triguttata ), Los Baños ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989), Mt. Makiling ( Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989; Kavanaugh et al., 2014), Mariveles, Tineg (Johnsom, 2021) ( Fig. 48 View Fig ).

NOTE. It seems noteworthy that for a long time Cylindera ( Ifasina) holosericea (Fabricius, 1801) was listed in the fauna of the Philippines ( Horn, 1915, 1926, 1929; Wiesner, 1986, 1992, 2020). However, until now no reliably confirmed records of this species from the Philippines are available. Perhaps all previous records are in fact misidentifications of C. viduata which was regarded for a long time as a synonym of C. holosericea (see Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989).
