Type
species
Catomus
persicus
Allard, 1876
, by subsequent designation (
GEBIEN
, 1943
).
The Asian species of the genus were partly revised by NABOZHENKO (2006, 2007, 2015a) with detailed descriptions and diagnoses of subgenera. Only two species of the subgenus
Sinocatomus
Nabozhenko, 2006
are known from
Sichuan Province
of
China
(NABOZHENKO 2006,
LIU & REN 2010
). This subgenus differs from other subgenera of
Catomus
by having the strongly convex keelshaped eight interstria near apex.
