C. communis
auctt.
General distribution: Asia, South
America
,
Australia
(
Thibaud
et al.
2004
).
Distribution in
China
: Fujian province, Fuzhou (
Denis 1929
), Henan province, Luoyang, Sanmenxia (
Shen 1993
), Shanxi-1 province, between Henglingguan and Wangmaoshen (
Uchida 1948
),
Taiwan
, Taibei (
Denis 1928
).
Note. Because of poor description and missing valid redescription,
C. communis
(Folsom, 1897)
can not be placed among presently acknowledged
Ceratophysella
species. Existing concepts of the species are inconsistent and define it as a member of the
communis
/
denticulata
group or
boletivora
group (
Denis 1924
;
Yosii 1956
,
1960
,
1962
,
1965
;
Christiansen & Bellinger 1980
). The only certain record of true
C. communis
(Folsom, 1897)
is that from the
type
locality (Tokyo,
Japan
), and Chinese records concern
C. communis
auctt. Some of the
Ceratophysella
species described from
China
:
C. adexilis
,
C. baichengensis
C. yinae
and
C. zhangi
are close to, or synonymous with
C. communis
sensu
Yosii (1962)
. Their taxonomic status needs confirmation.
