| Notes |
The synonymy of C. thoosina and C. cretensis suggested by Rosell & Uriz (2002) is compromised by the fact that apparently the origin of C. thoosina is unknown or at least (as can be deduced from the labels with the type) non-Mediterranean. The two types should be compared. [details] Type locality: Mediterranean [details] | ||||||||||
