(type-host: Gorsachius m . melanolophus ) and cygni (type-host: Cygnus cygnus ). New synonymies include: quadripustulatus (Burm.) (= maculipes Gieb., planiceps Piag., cingulatum Piag.); temporalis (Piag.) (= femoratum Piag.); decimfasciatus (B. & L.) (= nyctarde Denny, obscurum Gieb., castaneum Piag., boisduvali Eichler, doriabagla Ausari). C . matosi (Tendeiro) is a new combination. A key is given to the species.
