VIETNAM: 1 ♂: Vietnam, Nghé An, VI.2022 (RSc) ; 1 ♂: Vietnam, Tam Dao – 900 m, 16-23.V.1991, Strnad Jan leg. (RSc) ; JAPAN: 1 ♂: Japan, Oita pref., Choujabara, Handa Highland , 7.VII.2004 Masada (RSc) .
Distribution: This species ( Figs 8 and 19 View Figs 19-20 ) is widely distributed in South-East Asia, but it had never been mentioned for the Philippines until now. According to Anichtchenko (2024) it is diffused in Myanmar, China, Taiwan, Indonesia (Borneo), India, Sri Lanka, North Korea, South Korea and Japan, but we know it also from Vietnam. From the Philippines we have examined a specimen perfectly comparable to other populations of other regions. The province of Apayao is in the northernmost part of the island of Luzon, in the Cordillera mountain range. It seems therefore that E. nigricans is not sympatric with C. ismaeli n. sp., that lives in the other large mountain range of Luzon, the Sierra Madre.
